3. A grasshopper metamorphosing??? My best guess-- it was moving like a sloth, maybe it's a different critter all together

Thanks, men! I think this is my first macro post :) Glad to find others that are into macros, too

Just started using SLR this spring and am so happy to have made the switch.

LV-- amazing flickr account, I like the way it's so searchable! How did you identify all those insects? Is there a simple on-line resource you'd recc'd for me, as you can see, I have no idea what I'm photographing, even in laymen's terms. -- Lisa

Thanks!
I wasn't sure about the fish-- thought maybe by focusing on the reflections and bubbles, which interested me-- I missed the more obvious and likeable subject of the fish-- glad to see other people like it, too. --Lisa
