Re: PESO: Terminator Ladybird

[Don Williams]

I've taken a looked at the pictures of 
the rather beautiful beetle. I don't 
think it's a Lady Bird, the shape is 
wrong. The Coccinellidae, as far as I 
recall, are all oval in shape this one 
is not. The oval shape is a taxonomic 
feature. Does anyone care? I suppose not.

Hi Tim,
It's not the toy, it's the operator :-) I was so
fascinated looking at it that I forgot about
composition. It was difficult too since it was my
first bugs macro experience (with a non macro, cheap,
consumer but lovely zoom).
It was fascinating to see the ladybird in action too.

Seriously. It is fascinating to fight bugs with
bugs. In older days this was
common knowledge, now we tend to think chemicals. 
Bad for the bugs yes, but also bad for us, and the
planet.

Hi gang,
First, I went to the dark side. I got a Nikon D50
with
the kit lens, and a Transcend 80x sd card. All I
can
say is I'm very very happy with my purchase, the
results so far have been stunning. I love the
thing.
Well, going to the pictures, a short story. My
dear
plants at my window, got infected by plant louses.
I
tried a lot of methods, and they're still there.
Online, I read in several places that ladybirds
eats
them with pleasure. So, yesterday, I found one on
my
kitchen, took her to the poor sick plant and let
her
have a lunch.
I took her some pics with my new toy. You can see
two
here:
Nikon D50, 18-55 kit lens, ISO 200, 1/60 f11,
built-in
flash. They're full size, almost 1 mb each, so you
can
see in detail the f...ng louses.

funny...
