Macro (Arachnids, Insects & More)
Small life in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and surrounding areas are some of the best around, and that's what initially drew me to macro photography! I've found some amazing things that I never knew existed while looking under leaves and twigs. It's amazing all the small creatures there are, and I'm doing my best to capture some of the things people may never see up close!
Smoky Mountain Macro
There's so much diversity in the Smoky Mountains! You never know what you might find under a leaf!
Jumping Spiders
Jumping Spiders are always one of my favorites! You never know where or when they will show up.
Other Arachnids
I always get crazy looks when people ask what I'm shooting, and I respond with, "Spiders."
Butterflies & Skippers
Butterflies are some of the hardest macro subjects, but when you get the opportunity, it's usually worth it.
Predatory Insects
A Robber Fly was one of my first macro subjects. It's a bug-eat-bug world out there!
Bees & Wasps
Luckily, I've never been stung while shooting bee or wasp macro. They usually cooperate.
Moths
There's so many different types of moths out there that it's mind boggling! They all look so different!
Dragonflies & Damselflies
These are often found around ponds and bodies of water. We called the snakefeeders growing up.
Planthoppers
Also called leafhoppers, these guys come in so many different shapes and varieties.
