Adult male speckled bush cricket



Orbweb spider with honey bee prey - Interesting technique by the spider- it wrapped it to immobilise before approaching for the coup-de-gras



Flying red ant around 4:1



Chalcid wasp 4:1



Soldier fly around 2.5:1



Plant bug Scolopostethus species 5;1



Small leaf beetle 3:1

I love bugs!

Your lighting is still wonderful to me! I think it's good because: by diffusing the flash, you get a wider light (The quantity), then the light go along with the subjects body (Insects) with very good detail (The quality of light). Love it.

Cheers
