I don't have a very professional setup at the moment. I'm hoping to make it better some day. Right now I'm getting by with my 100L on the 70D, holding my flash off camera with a 3 ft TTL cord, and the flash has a Rouge flashbender on it. These are all hand-held, no tripod.

Good job! Love the Bold Jumping Spider.

The first time one of those big Green June Beetles starting buzzing around me, it freaked me out some. :D

This is a nice set Daniel! Great start, looks like you just need to work on maximizing your DOF which is done well in the last shot.

Great start!

Like CanopicJar mentioned, your DoF seems a bit narrow in some of these (I believe they were shot at F8-F9), which you can see when you compare it to the last image (shot at F14, at least according to flickr xD). Generally, sticking to F11-F16 should net you some great results.

As for light, I'm in the process of making a tutorial for a DIY Pringles Can diffuser (using CanopicJar's instructions) which I will be posting soon in the "Macro Talk" section of the forum, maybe that could interest you. That's an extremely cheap way of getting great light. :)
