Oops, pressed the wron button! Here's more:

Really cool....I've never seen one so close. I do know that they're really loud in the summer. or is that cicadas?

Hi Peachman, thanks for the compliments .

I used a Tokina 100mm macro lens for all these pics. It is hard to remember where I used tubes and how many, but I think I remember the first pic being all zoomed in, no tubes. The last one I know had 68mm tubes and I zoomed all the way out. I use a 430 speedlite with a LSIIPJ. I tried using a bracket, in fact some pics may have been taken using it, but that setup gets very heavy. I think the advantage of the lightsphere is that it sticks out so much and gives the flash extra length.
