I am forced to stop taking bug photos for the time being.
Someone broke into our house, breaking a patio door window to get in. They took some stuff from us, including my camera.
I will have to spend a bunch of money to get back into the hobby, and I probably will. Right now I have other priorities I have to deal with though.
I do have a bucket of glass.

That’s a shame! Much can be done with phone cameras though — look into macro lenses for them, or just a cheap point and shoot. They have pretty nice macro capabilities for little money.
So sorry to hear!!!

Terrible news. Hope it all works out
That is such a shame, what is wrong with people? Hope you get everything sorted out quickly and smoothly.
