Man, that's stupendous! If that's what you do when bored, then I hope you're often bored!
I was reading these posts to learn about cacti, and who knows, maybe eventually contribute something. Now I'm also knocked out by the pics. Thanks--

Re: Bumps on bumps
Thanks Ian, Christer and Scott. Christer, I use a Canon 20D with an MP-E 65 macro lens, lighting for this was from a single diffused Canon 580ex speedlight. Its a full frame image, not cropped, exposure was F11 @ 1/250 with ISO set to 100.
These were the guys I had been chasing before I turned the lens on the succulents .......

Re: Bumps on bumps
Awww. I just adore springtails, they are very cute when you see them close up and I love this one's hairy 'bum'. All these close up pics make me feel bad for not getting my microscope and camera out much these days.

Re: Bumps on bumps
incredible photos, who would think there are so few cells on the tip of a leaf. I guess the white ones are transparent, and let the light through to the inside of the leaf?Mr. Hairy Bot is beautiful - how long is he, Adrian?
I wonder why he is so hairy at the back. To sense air movement behind him?
