Posts: 287	I realize we post microscopic photos of bugs for identification purposes and that's a great practice. I'd like to make a request-suggestion that at least one photo of the specimen be photographed from a regular ocular distance.

Posts: 287	Any species and stage of maturity. If you post a nymph for example, back off on the macro for just one shot of whatever you're photographing; nymphs, emergers adults, spinners, or the O'Jays.
