Can you see the hair on the legs?

This is a picture of a bumble bee I took with the same lens and camera. As you can see it's currently on my desktop , hence the Recyle Bin icon. A macro lens does something amazing with just the most common backyard animals.  It brings them closer and encourages us to look longer and appreciate deeper. If you use a SLR camera save up your pennies and treat yourself to a macro lens as a family gift. You can often  find us crawling through the backyard with the lens hunting for curious creatures. Even my allergic daughter will  hazard some itching for the chance to catch that perfect shot.
