Ohh that's the super massive one, isn't it? or the proper one to have if you are going to dedicate yourself to macros I guess.

No, it's not! This weevil has no more than 8mm!

Uhm...I was talking about the lense, is that not the most specialized macro lense for macros?

Oh, sorry.
It's very specialized macro lens; by the way, very difficult and demanding. Recommended for advanced photographers only.

Surely can't be that difficult... but I guess it depends what is considered to be an advanced photographer, is it the use of Manual settings? What I've read of those is that sometimes it's ridiculously difficult to find your subject/object with it... like you have to move to left right up and down till you find the tiny item with the lense, so it's not the typical point and shoot at all.

Once I was taking pictures of bugs and I saw two weevils. One was huge, another was little. Which did I choose to take picture of?

The little one. Why? Cause in doubt one must always choose the lesser of two weevils.

Get it?

Hope those yellow things aren't parasites!

No, they aren't of course! It is natural tufts of hairs.
