Dang, shooting bugs is hard!!! When you go hunting them you can't find them, and when you don't have your cam...your swarmed by them :D

I took 4 pics of this little guy and this was the best one, too bad there is a shadow on most of his body, I blew out his nose, and I couldn't get the eyes in focus...

kevin...great attempt! have you seen all the apparatus the bug photo guys use? it's amazing...tripods, reflectors, wind shields...i don't know how they get the bug to stay still for all of it.! I think they must drug the little guys or something...
what lense did you use for those shots? did you tripod and flash or handhold? awesome! this is much much much harder than kevin makes it look!

Very nice!!! You really nailed that last one. I went bug hunting this afternoon when I got home from work also. I only had about 5 pics left on the card, but I was able to come up with one.

I'm an amatuer compared to you guys, but here are a couple shots I took last weekend. I'm so happy to now have a camera with a decent macro mode!
