Hey Ed,
That sounds like a workable setup. I usually use a 400 speed film and don't
get past 1:2--I like having part of the critter's environment in the
shot, and my hands (except in certain positions) are too unsteady for slow
film at high mag.
If it was a 10 minute drive, I'd certainly be there quite often. I'd love a
chance to shoot the developmental cycle, all the way through, for an
individual insect.

PS It's one of my favorite jokes, too. Glad to see there are other list
members with a sense of humor as rarefied and sophisticated as mine. <g>
