Wow. Fantastic detail.

(The dead bug looks like it has a screaming-skull face, to me)

P.S. ... your signature is funny!!

Wow, that is incredable. You have captured some very fine and sharp detail.
What did you use for a camera/lens?

Many thanks, it took forever, the equipment wasnt anything special Richard, just a sigma 105 macro on a minolta d5 (as it is digi and eqivilant 165mm would that make it about 1.5:1?), but that was one of two that were about the same detail and focus out of more than 150 shots (I have been speding too much time trying to get ants lately It has even made me thing of the 1x 3x dedicated macro lens, but the wife would cry if i did), all on a bean bag lying in the sun at about f:32 (probably 2.5mm focal depth) and lots of silver foil on a board. It was not the full frame, what is shown is about 1/3 of the full frame picture, but no sharpening etc but a bit of contrast in ps.

Antartican, thank you so much . And now of course i cant stop quoting your sig, yieks, but for the kids it got changed to if you dont do anything, nothing will ever get done, and their rooms are still a tip.

Here she is in the other similar one, still working hard trying to find her way home with the skull bug...

Fantastic, your patenice has really paid off with these shots.
