    Wow. Those are amazing! I love the "racing" one hehe. I have trouble finding interesting bugs...now I've realized I just haven't been looking CLOSE enough!!! Those look tiny!

    What lens/ring combination are you using for that kind of magnification?

    Thanks for the comments :)

    PT_Frost- I'm using a rather specialist macro lens for these shots- a canon MPE-65.
