LOVELY shots, but what stands out to me is your made-up name for the monk bug. It is just perfect! Man, he's not only very talented, but he also has a wit...!

You definitely have this down to a fine art, simply outstanding! :)

For me its the pictures of the Shieldbug (both pics) - the clarity and detail are simply out of this world.

Man that hoverfly has a bunch of junk on its eye.. :p I wonder if that's bothering it.

Awesome shots, fantastic macro work :) I like all of them apart from the wasp one (I think it's the framing). Great stuff :)

For me it has to be the head-on shot of the shield bug. Fantastic capture!

Fantastic shots. I like #1 and #4 most. Good naming for the Monk beetle.

Not sure if the "monk" beetle is actually a weevil.

Love the head on shot of the Shield Bug, if the Monk Beetle really is a Weevil it might be better named a Hoody Bug ;)
