Very nice and crazy close. What lens may I ask?

Many thanks for the compliments all

As for the lens I honestly forget as I took these a while ago, EXIF says 70mm which means they were likely taken with the Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro - based on the magnification I likely also had a Sigma 1.4TC attached as well. I often do with the 1:1 macro lenses as the shift into 1.4:1 magnification gives a nice boost that helps resolve and bring out the segmented eyes on most flies whilst at the same time the image quality is hardly affected (and since light is flash driven exposure isn't affected).

Really Nice! That last guy looks familiar. I think he crashed my 4th of July picnic.
Opps...4th of July might still be a little touchy with you folks over the pond :mrgreen:
