Finally!

I finally got a few decent close ups of some living bugs...

Nicely done! That's not easy.

The first shot is my favorite.

Thanks. These were all hand-held, using a 20D and 100mm macro f/2.8.

I didn't think I got anything useful, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got home and looked.

Lovely shots- esp like the sweat bee captures

Thanks Brian. It's some of the insanely good stuff you post here that actually motivated me to try to get some real closeup bug stuff. I think that is probably the closest I can get with the 100mm macro. I've got a set of Kenko ext. tubes, but I'm not that comfortable using them yet.

Wow. Awesome shots
My fav is the last fly
