Had some time with a female Wagler’t pit viper, and managed a wide-angle shot with its tongue out, close up of the inside of its pits, and with its entire body in the frame. Wagler's pit viper ( Tropidolaemus wagleri).For more cassidines, check out Cassidinae Checklist: Tortoise Beetles. Look closer at the first photo and you’ll find a wasp and several mites sitting on the beetle’s elytra. People seemed to like it and the post had over 72k likes. One night, I found 3 species of tortoise beetles on the same plant and posted it on Twitter.

Most of the photos featured here were photographed with my entry-level Micro Four Thirds rig, with a few using my full frame Nikon system. Hope you enjoy them as much as I had fun taking them. Here are 100 of my most memorable photos from 2022.

All in all, I found myself playing around more with my wide-angle relay system for the most unique perspectives. I also resumed some workshops in the field, while most of my lectures were still conducted online. I was also an instructor at BugShot Ecuador 2022 and had lots of lifers from the Amazon and cloud forests. In 2022, I spent a little more time exploring the urban microfauna.
