chipperatl 91 Posted July 4 @The Bird Nuts which lens for that great Blinded Sphinx pic? I haven’t pulled the trigger on a macro yet, but looks like when I do a ring light may need to be part of it. My moths tend to still have some blown out areas from on-camera flash and diffuser with kit lens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when I look it up, SC is not supposed to be in its range. Anyone know dragonflies? Thanks in advance 🙂 iNaturalist has a ton of sightings in SC of this. I’m starting to try to load moths and other insects in there as it has a great AI for helping to ID your observations as you enter them. Along with the human ID help. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has great macro. I use an adapter ring and attach the ring light to that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HamRHead 599 Posted July 12 Moth species? 1- inch wingspan. Desmia? Maybe a Grape Leaffolder? But I can't find any examples with the yellow afterburner. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
