Phantom craneflies (Bittacomorpha clavipes) are aptly named creatures. With their cryptic coloration, they sometimes seem to disappear as they drift along on the breeze in the sun-dappled lowlands.
lene, I do take pictures of nymphs, but I have never taken the time to key out the individual species so I usually don't post the pictures I have.
As for my camera, I use an Olympus Camedia C-5000 Zoom set on super-macro. Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about the technical aspects of photography - I'm strictly a point-and-shoot type :)

Nice two-tone paint job and white wall tires.
I was just flipping through a freshwater invertebrate book and wondered if you ever take shots of nymphs.
This is another beautiful picture. Do you mind if I ask what type of lens you use to get such clear close-up shots?

feeling rather poetic: "on the breeze in the sun-dappled lowlands"?
