I can thoroughly recommend a trip to the Swiss Alps for both these species, and hundreds (literally) more! For those two Finland will do as well, but the number of additional specialties is somewhat :( lower. The Swiss alps are indeed beautiful, but there is a reason why I'd prefer France or Italy ...

I think the correct name is Dupo n chelia fovealis . In Finland it can only survive in greenhouses but it can be a real pest there (or at least the site I found says that - I wouldn't know. :) ) The same site indicates two methods of control: Bacillus thuringiensis -bacteria and some small insect Hy...

Hmm. I would not always trust the floatines of those triangles, nor the paler color. However, the shape (triangle vs. arc) seems to be generally true here as well. See this page.

In closeup shos, my f/2.2 would be best then? No. The closer you are, the more you need the additional DOF in order to get at least most of the subject sharp. It is not as critical with compact as it is with DSLR, but that is still the way to go. The common usage in macro shots is to use as small a...

If I read you right, you are saying that with a constant magnification the shorter focal length gives less hand shake due to the shorter distance. That makes sense - at least for angular movement, which is not quite as dominant with large magnification as it is for normal photography. :) I just can'...

If you are getting in close to take the pictures handshake will be a minimal problem (and going in close accentuates the depth-of field problem, so benefits most from stopping down the aperture). Ditto on the aperture, but I have always heard that increased magnification makes the handshake worse, ...
