Up your cell phone photography game with clip-on macro lenses!

Many insects need detailed, close-up photos for proper identification. I use a combination of clip-on macro lenses, which range from $5-20, that attach to my cell phone for smaller pollinators (<0.5inches). Here are some great options:

15X macro with rechargeable LED:

Be aware that you will want to make sure the lens fits over your phone and case.
