Macro nature shots are my favorite to take. And I love ladybugs. These are great. Makes me pine for spring and visits from the ladybugs to my garden.

I don’t have a good Macro lens but recently got a opteka 10x macro lens that attaches to my 18-55mm. Here is one of my first practice shots. undefined

Dear photographer,

Of the following animals we search for (macro) mood photos photographed in their natural environment, where the animal is clearly recognizable in this picture ( not half behind a branch / plant or hidden half in water / soil clogged).
We use this picture on a newly developed Best for Birds / Wild on Wildlife website on which we want to inform everyone about the special animals in the garden or nature and the importance of these animals. We are willing to pay up to 20, – Euro per good photo. Can you help us?

Solitary bees:
– Osmia leaiana
– Osmia leucomelana
– Osmia niveata
– Osmia tridentata
– Hylaeus communis
– White-jawed yellow-face – Hylaeus confusus
– Anthidium punctatum
– Orange-vented leaf-cutter – Megachile versicolor
– Chelostoma campanularum
– Sleepy carpenter bee – Chelostoma florisomne

Best regards,

Jeroen Verspuij
