A very nice series to enjoy. I would like to know what lens you used with the K-5. The EXIF shows 100mm focal length but on indication of what lens was used. Thanks,

Tony

They were shot with 50mm of tubes behind a Pentax 50mm f4 Macro. When the K5 ask for the FL, I dialed in 100mm, that's why it's in the EXIF.

Excellent captures! #4 looks like something out of a horror movie, with spiked clubs for front legs. Any idea what it is?

It's a spiny assassin bug nymph. Very small and harmless except to other small insects, very beneficial for the garden as it's a predator to other harmful insects.
