July Photo Contest: Invertebrates!

[kactusficus]

wow Grenaria, amazing image!!!!! Can I ask what is the lens used for this one?

Many many beautiful images this month, it is very hard to pick THE one!!

 

[grenaria]

Thank you kactusficus. The lens is a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L USM, ISO 1600 f/8.0 0.2s exposure. I have gigabytes of images from the week or so that the cowrie was brooding on the eggs, but this one is my personal favorite for a few reasons. If you would like to see more, I can PM a link to you.

Great Photo, but that is not an ocellaris. A. polymnus, Saddleback (Black Var.)

Just FYI...Like I said, Great photo!
