ummm WOW! (that's 2 wow's in a row!)

...but you need to get yourself better looking models!

How do you get them to stay still enough to get the focus, etc.?

Superb macros as usual from you. Thanks for sharing these. #1 in particular with the critter biting the stem is a cracker.

Impressive.. Would you be able to post a centre 1:1 crop from the unresized image? It would be interesting to see how the reversed 50mm lens performs.

I've been thinking of combining my 50mm & 105mm lenses, but haven't got around to getting the adapter yet. Too bad the stores aren't open, I'd pick one up right now after seeing this :).

Thanks Peter, but it is not what it looks like...
The "stem" is actually out of focus right antenna (spelling?) of this bug (id anyone?)
