[Robber Fly, Forsythe NWR at lunchtime Tuesday. These inch-long predators are awesome to watch - especially when another insect flies past and they launch a strike perfectly timed to catch and consume.]
A recent "moth party" (more on that to follow) inspired me afterwards to fool with my macro lens, or as Nikon calls it, micro lens. We birders tend to look far, far off for migrating raptors or specks that become shorebirds in a scope - but I remind myself periodically to look for wonders close by, too.
