Here are a few recent favorites of mine. The most interesting is probably the pregnant fly. The flash was able to actually illuminate the eggs inside her body. She was about ready to burst!

Pregnant fly:

Wow. Superb set. Love the pregger fly; never seen the eggs inside before. And the crab spider close-up is great.

Biased towards the first one with the belly becoming almost translucent with the light :)

A cracking set of shots - they are so crisp! Amazing seeing the eggs inside the fly.
