Nice pictures!:thumbup: Where do you find these bugs? I always try to find these, but no luck.

I don't like the frames, takes away from the images.

I like them. Apart from #3 , they look very friendly , like from the movie '' A bug's life ''. I've never done macro / bug photography because bugs scare me haha.

Nice!

Thanks for the comments

I find these in a nearby park. Just have to have some patience and sit still for a while and take your time to look around. Its pretty amazing what you can sometimes find

All were shot with a Canon 50D, Sigma 105 2.8 macro and a Speedlite 430EX with a difuser on it. Most of the time the settings are: ISO100, 1/200, F/14
