As we are locked down and can't get out for birds or landscapes, I took the macro lens around the backyard. I couldn't find much and I'm not sure whether it's my eyes or just fewer insects around. The cooler weather probably didn't help.
Here are the best shots I managed. All with Nikon D800, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro, on-camera flash with small diffuser. All hand-held so these are the ten percent that were in focus.
Small beetle. Heavy crop.

Even smaller spider, Maybe 5 millimetres long. Very heavy crop
