Sampling in-stream insects is a water quality assessment tool but some of the critters are really tiny so I took my FA 50mm f2.8 macro along to see if that might be a help. It was--I would have had no idea what this was (I'm still not certain but think its a very young dragon fly larva.) As a point of reference, the mesh of the net is about 1mm x 2mm. This is pretty massively cropped btw.

Looks like it could be a Mayfly Lavae.
Here's the result of using my "new" macro lens on the K-5.

Banded Demoiselle
K-5, A★200mm f/4 Macro [F5.6, 1/320 ISO400]

**dadipentak** · 06-05-2011, 10:05 AM

Nice, Col! Those are really beautiful dameselflies, aren't they?

I think, you were right about the mayfly, btw. I suspect this is the dun (Sigma 105mm macro):

I'm determined to get better photos of these guys but it's going to take a more deliberate approach.

Now with a keen Killi. I want to show the last shot.

Nothobranchius korthausae Mafia Island TZN 08/4

Nice image, did you use a Kilfit macro, or what did you mean by "keen Kili"?
