The Macro World......

Here are some of the images of Insects and the tiny surroundings which i look in a closer way. Hopefully you all like these close-up images i took...

A Macro Close-up of a part of Butterfly's wing.. Check out the tiny scales which are in thousands.... We often see the moths and butterflies colors.. But that's due to the tiny thousands of scales present all over... Captured using Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm lens reversed...... (Hand Held)

Here is a Macro photograph of a part of Butterfly's wing.. If you observe closely, you will find the tiny scales which make these beautiful colors.... We often see colorful moths and butterflies colors.. But we hardly notice how these actually seem...!! Captured using Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm lens reversed. (Hand Held)

A marco photograph of a tiny water droplet on the wing of a Butterfly... Extreme closeup pic taken with Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm lens reversed (hand held) 

A closer look at the skeleton of a Butterfly's wing.....!! The tiny bubble magnifies this image even more at the centre.. At the top middle the tiny scales which make the beautiful colourful wing are seen... Picture taken with Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm lens reversed....

The long-legged fly (Dolichopodidae), make up a large family of true flies with more than 7,000 described species in about 230 genera distributed worldwide. The genus Dolichopus is the most speciose, with some 600 species.  They are generally small flies with large, prominent eyes and a metallic cast to their appearance, though considerable variation is observed. Most have long legs, though some do not. The males often have enlarged genitalia which can be useful for species recognition. The adults are predatory on other small animals.

The long-legged fly (Dolichopodidae), are medium sized or minute flies (1mm - 9mm). The eyes are contiguous on the frons of males (except Diaphorus where they are close set). The mouthparts are short in most species and have a wide aperture as an adaptation for sucking small prey.

A House Fly... Closer look at the compound eyes.. A human's eye is attached to muscles that allow it to move, expanding the field of vision and making it possible for the eye to gather more information about its surroundings. Instead of moving their eyes, flies receive information from several different points simultaneously. A fly's eyes are immobile, but because of their spherical shape and protrusion from the fly's head they give the fly an almost 360-degree view of the world.

The common housefly (Musca domestica) look at the world in quite a different way than humans do. The structure and function of a fly's eye are completely different from ours, and so they see shapes, motion and colour differently. Flies are also able to see light in a way humans cannot. A fly's eyes are immobile, but because of their spherical shape and protrusion from the fly's head they give the fly an almost 360-degree view of the world. In a human eye, the pupil controls how much light comes into it, which is focused by the lens onto the retina. The retina then relays information to the brain via the optic nerve. Because fly eyes have no pupils they cannot control how much light enters the eye. With no control over how much light passes through the lens, the fly cannot focus the image it sees. Flies are also short-sighted -- a visible range of a few yards is considered good for an insect.

Like all insects, ants have six legs. Each leg has three joints. The ant has two eyes, each eye is made of many smaller eyes. They are called compound eyes. The abdomen of the ant contains two stomachs. One stomach holds the food for itself and second stomach is for food to be shared with other ants. Like all insects, the outside of their body is covered with a hard armour this is called the exoskeleton.

Awesome Sparkles... An image of the tiny fly focused fully. In the previous i have focused only at the eye creating a Bokeh Effect over its remaining body(Previous Picture). Captured using Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm lens reversed..

Look at those colors... Focused at the eye, the head looks so colourful with a bokeh created because of the colorful tiny hair.. Captured this very tiny fly (size of about 3mm only) at the Lalbagh Gardens, Bangalore. Captured using Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm Lens Reversed...

A Honey Bee caught at work.....!! Captured using Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm reverse macro..
