Greetings,
A few test shots just now in my garden, nothing interesting though. I kind of like its more diffuse light. Light on this metallic body of whatever bug looks soft too. However, I have no subject to test on how the light fall on insects compound eyes looks like. Comments on how I can improve on this. Enjoy...

Thanks again. I just hope it is not too soft. I need a bigger fly to shoot with and see how the light falls on its compound eyes. Thanks

Forget to put the link to my DIY flash diffuser:

Greetings,
Finally got to ID the #2 bug. It is a hammerhead bug - Isthmocoris piceus. Thought there is only hammerhead sharks. Enjoy...
