It's that time of year again - post 5-7 of your favorite / best macro images from 2024. I know it's tough and if you can't pick "best" pick favorites :)

Please keep all your images in a single post. I'm looking forward to seeing them! (Note, somehow I didn't shoot any macros this year, so someone will have to get things started :)

Had a fun year with flowers BOF (Bugs on Flowers) photos in our home gardens given the variety maintained by my other half. I help in return for the joy of capturing the views. All shots from our yard.

It wasn't a great spring and summer around my area (south midlands of England) for our insects but I enjoyed the opportunities I had:

Oh shoot, forgot that there is a separate thread for macro. I guess some of the wildlife shots I have already shared could also qualify for this thread.

And not wildlife, but I got commissioned for a pet reptile photoshoot from a former student right before the holidays.
