Thanks everyone for the awesome replies.
I used a 28 - 80 lens from my Canon Rebel but used it on my Canon Digital Rebel, with a 2x extender tube and a 3x close up filter. I took a few shots from about 6 to 8" away and sent my autofocus into withdrawls. I had to manually focus these two shots. I tried to use a 5x diopter lens from magnifyer lamp, but everything came out looking very "fisheye" Just wish I could afford a Macro lens.
Sorry April. I will try to maybe shoot a some butterflies for you. I will try to get a butterfly in chocolate for ya....k?

If you are shooting with Canon the 100mm 2.8 macro is a great lens. The focus is a little slow but it is very crisp.

maybe a little expensive but not bad as far as good lenses go.

Oh my.... :shock: these are really great captures! I've been afraid to look since I have an aversion to those nasty, spindly-legged things..... The lighting is really good....well done!
