Shots like these (incredible, by the way) always impress me. How the heck do you get in so close without spooking the hell out of these critters?

My other questions is; when focus stacking, how can you do that without them moving? There has to be some secret technique.

Consider me impressed once again.

That, I know from some little experience, requires patience and dedication. The fact this isn't stacked, with that kind of detail, is impressive. Either that, or it's a really huge bug. :-D

I have that same lens. It's definitely a fantastic lens. I've just never been lucky (or patient?) enough to get that close to any kind of critter.

From the looks of it I assume you used a flash. Yes?

Wow, with that strong specularity in the eye (first image) I thought it was flash. Anyway, these are amazing shots.
