But at that point it flew away. It ever came back to the spot I'd set up and lit with a desk lamp. But eventually it found a microscopic bit of dried juice on the plate, at the edge of the apple's shadow. I was able to watch it repeatedly "tasting" the plate through the EVF at high magnification. Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM 50/3.5 Macro lens for the close-up, at 100% pixels. E-M5 and 25/1.4 for the overview. Leica M8 and 35 Summicron for the equipment shot. --Peter
