Not sure what the blue insect is. Somebody told me it was a "damsel fly". It looked like a small blue dragonfly and for some reason decided to oblige and pose for me!:D
Using the Canon XTi with a 100mm macro lens and the set of 3 Kenko extension lenses 12, 20, 36 mm

Thanks for looking and comments and suggestions welcome!

    Excellent start with the tubes, you just missed eye focus on the bee but the damselfly is wonderful.
    Not sure what aperture you were using but if you want more detail at the expense of DOF when using tubes around 1.5:1 or above try using F8-F11.
