Hmm, you may be able to see a year's worth of difference in your images, John, but I can't.

Lemme see what I can dig up...may have to look on my machine at the house...don't think I've been shooting macro for a year yet.

It's mostly the equipment I think... P&S vs DSLR + dedicated lens & flash.

I see a big difference in talent there that has nothing to do with the gear...

All wonderful shots. My question for the entomologists is what are the hair like things (for the lack of a better word) that are extending from the eye structures in Dalantech's second and Lee Ankers first?

Excellent images all! I like to compare my photos from one season to the next just to make sure I am working on the things that I need to improve -if I sit on my thumbs there will be a shock wave as the rest of you pass me by

They are actually hairs. I think that some insects have them to protect their eyes because of the way that they feed. I'll post my next set of a butterfly that has hair growing out if its eyes:
