In my opinion i think yes you are cropping to tightly. It took my eyes a little time to focus on each pic.
Closer isn't always better
But i do like the last 2 shots very sharp with good detail.
Recrop the second last one and repost it, i would like to have another look at it.

Im impressed by the 2nd shot. Is this a normal size ant?
If it is - it is very good indeed.
I would recon the best thing is the longer working distance...
What would you call normal size : This one was about 8mm i would say and quite normal, probably mid range as there are smaller ones as well as bigger ones in these parts. Im impressed by the 2nd shot. Is this a normal size ant?

And yes i like the longer working distance but it takes a little more getting used too.

Finally got out with my new Sigma 180mm macro.
Iwouldn't say it was better than my Pentax DFA 100mm (maybe just need a little more practice)
But certainly a very good mid range telephoto.

I think you're right about it being a ladybird, bigcog. A quick search on wikipedia suggests it is the pupal stage.
I have seen many Lady birds but never one in the pupal stage I think you're right about it being a ladybird, bigcog. A quick search on wikipedia suggests it is the pupal stage.
I guess they have to come from somewhere
Im sure Dan will set the record straight if you may be wrong.
Good capture

Well it appears Chris from SRS has come to my aid with a lens cap
At a reasonable price too, i was expecting and willing to pay a little more to get one so i am happy. And he is willing to ship all the way to Aust. Thanks Chris
Thanks to everyone else for thier help and advice, especially stevejcoe who went to a bit of trouble for my benefit. much appreciated.
