Aphid Mummy And Trichogramma Wasp - a photo on Flickriver

            Im not sure what this Trich-Wasp is doing. Kinda looks like it is trying to inject eggs in The Aphid Mummy lol~! Maybe it doesnt realize its a Mummy? I watched it doing this for a bit and left and when I came back it was still doing this.

 I was using a reversed 28mm Tokina with 52mm threads made for Nikon on my Canon 40D with the Canon EOS reverse lens adapter (52mm threads so i can use the adapters I have 52-55mm and up. I should have gotten a 49mm but thats beside the point now) and my pictures werent coming out focused unless I adjusted my dioptric adjustment knob to +3. I usually keep it set at - 0. And even then they werent coming out as focused as they looked in the view finder. When I use my 105mm Sigma Macro for Nikon and other Nikon lenses with the Nikon to Canon adapter my images come out super sharp with my dioptric adjustment knob set to my normal - 0. Im not sure if I need to adjust my dioptre when using higher magnifications with the Canon (which I never had to do with any of my Nikons) or if it is just something with this Tokina lens when using it reversed on the Canon? Or maybe my eyes are getting worn out from constantly trying to view tiny subjects? I dont know but I have been shooting smaller depth of fields (paper thin sometimes) with my D70 and never encountered this problem. The Canon 40D's view finder is much larger, brighter and more magnified than the Nikon D70's so maybe Im just not used to it yet? Anyone else having this problem?
