Ghost Cicada - Ayuthia spectabile (100mp)

White Ghost Cicada captured again - It's a very old specimen, quite dusty and with some broken bits, but still captivating up close. The micro structures and patterns are intricate and beautiful I think.

Sony A9iii remote shutter trigger speed

Hello fellow Alphas. I am considering getting the A9iii but only if it can deliver 10 fps via an Arduino remote trigger in single shot mode. I will hold the ring shorted whilst i pulse the tip to achieve the desired frame-rate so shouldn't incur the 200ms penalty for a full (full press) shot recycle. Can anyone confirm if this will work? Many thanks in advance!

Another beautiful creature that looks just like a wasp from our perspective - It's real identity is revealed clearly with this macroscan, however! If you look really closely, you can see individual pollen grains in the mouth...

Hoverflies, also known as flower flies or syrphid flies, are harmless insects that play crucial roles as pollinators and natural pest controllers. Hoverflies use both visual and behavioral mimicry to resemble bees and wasps, reducing predation risk through Batesian mimicry.
