Oh you're going to love it! :-( Seeing you've shown us the Proboscis in action. This next assignment is capturing a "CLOSE-UP" of it inserted into the flower. And due to the fact we have such super talented butterfly shooters in the crew. "HOW BE WE MAKE THIS AN ASSIGNMENT FOR THE WHOLE CREW WISHING TO GIVE IT A "CLICK?" Or "TRY" if you prefer? Now "CREW"don't start whining like you did in grade school about "home work!" Just get out there and do a smashing great "CLICK!" Thank you most sincerely. cheers, Dr. Ted Grant OC the mean assed photo editor :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Nichols Sent: July-19-16 11:39 AM To: LUG at Leica-Users.org; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMG: Proboscises at Work With insects, the proboscis is defined as a long, flexible tube that is used to extract nectar from a flower. I managed to catch two such instances today. This Clearwing Moth was happily feeding on the Buddleia blooms. The proboscis is extended into the throat of a bloom. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Clearwing+Moth_001.TIFF.html This Silver-Sided Skipper is using its proboscis in a similar fashion. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Silver-Sided+Skipper.TIFF.html Olympus E-510 with Takumar 135/3.5 and 9.5mm Extension Tube Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
