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.)
