Some time ago, Moose convinced me to try a close up element when 
capturing small insect images.  I purchased one that fits magnetically 
to some of my manual lenses.  Today, I captured a couple of mavaricks  
that I seldom encounter.

First, is a Honey Bee.   I seldom see them any more.   I am not 
proficient enough to determine whether or not it is Africanized.

Second, is a Long Tailed Skipper.

The lens I chose was a Pentax Takamar 55mm f/1.8. (Yes, Philippe, this 
is the one you asked about.)
