I agree with Seymouraves - it's the Pentax Papilios you need. Not overly expensive (compared to some), they focus down to 18" and are amazing for bugs & beasties. I bought Mrs WJ a pair a couple of years ago as we spend so much time in the summer watching the Beewolves & other digger wasps. We have the 8.5 x 21, but you can also get 6.5 x 21 if you prefer (make sure to get the Mk2 versions)
