Ladybird Eating Aphids
I found this little beauty in the kitchen, so I transfered it to the rose bushes near some aphids and it immediately set to work devouring most of them!

A Cautionary Tale
Don’t drop the lens when reverse lens macroing! I thought my kit lens was a goner when I dropped it about a metre on to concrete. The front focusing element jammed at a nasty angle. Fortunately the optics were unharmed. I managed to take it apart and free the jammed part. It works, it just sounds a bit different when the focusing motor runs.
This is a reverse lens macro with my Canon 50mm f1.8 primary. I managed to keep hold of it this time.
