Dean's Macro Marvels

Just a guy with an obsession of insect macro photography. I love to show people how these tiny creatures look up close. Nikon D810 & D4 + Laowa 100mm 2x Macro.

An Ichneumon wasp. Been trying to capture one of these all summer but they never keep still enough!! Got lucky this time! Check out the aphid gang in the background!

A few shots of Harlequin Ladybird. Not a native insect to the UK, and their red legs are a bit of a give away! I couldn't count the spots as the bugger wouldn't stay still!!

I took this image with my phone at about 2AM, after 6 pints of cider, whilst standing on tiptoes! It landed on the ceiling so i staggered over and took this snap. It's a beautiful moth called the Common Emerald. 😊 #insects #macro #nature #moths #beautiful

@TechDevTom Yeah it's crazy colourful. I've never seen one before! And I do a lot of insect macro too! Everyday is a school day!

@IsuruRanasing18 That's a great image!

A Red Soldier Beetle. My Dad told me that these things were everywhere when he was a kid, to the point that they were complete pests. Now you have to dig deep and look hard to find them. #beetle #insect #macro #photography #insectmacro #naturelover #wildlife #uk #soldierbeetle

A little cucumber slider. Great capture!

[Dean's Macro Marvels @dean_marvels]

@coprolite9000 @BritishSpiders Looks like one of those little cucumber spiders. 😊

@colorsofmynikon Thankyou! I love me a bit if black and white. My second Instagram account is macro images but in black and white. Trying to do something a bit different in a world awash with great photography!

The good old common Brown Stinkbug. These little beautes are known as stinkbugs as they squirt a pretty foul smelling excretion from their rear ends when in danger. #macro #insect #shieldbug #insectmacro #Entomology #loveinsects #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #wildlife

@FegenMark @GP_O11 I dunno, he volunteered to crawl into me! 😉

My little girl found this "bug" in our garden. Turned out to be a tiny male zebra jumping spider. How cute! Here it is on my knuckle! So small!! ❤️ #spider #jumpingspider #zebra #small #arachnid #eyes #nature #wildlife #garden #gardencreatures #uknature #macro

@4peatssake2 @BritishSpiders @Britnatureguide @NatureUK @NHM_UKBiodiv @ynuorg @BrianE_Cambs @BNAscience @graemelyons It looks like a Prostigmata, a kind of mite.

[Dean's Macro Marvels @dean_marvels]

@GP_O11 Just wow!!
