I took these with my Canon S3 and my new Raynox DCR-250 lens I recieved today. I was taking pics of my guitar outside, and this tiny orange fly that looked like a spec came and sat on the edge of my guitar, Im not sure which type of fly it is. The grain of the wood on my guitar is very narrow, and it was able to fit its body length in between that, so it gives you an idea of how tiny it was. The second pic is of a strange looking bug I seen hiding in a plant. These are my first pics with this lens and Im still trying to find the perfect dof. Can anybody help with the ID's? All comments welcome.

Sorry can't help with ID.Excellent detail in the second shot, the minute red dot near the eye is perfectly clear.
