That second one is amazing Rense - the detail and texture, and the lovely DOF
Your lighting set-up really gives superb illumination as well - you must be very pleased.

Thanks Chris! Yes, I am quite happy with it! Only shiny creatures, like lady bugs, (as well as the first one in the first post!) have quite some reflections.... Have to find out what to do about that....

Could you use a polarizer to cut the reflections?

I love the shot of the weevil Rense - wonderful. What about a polariser over the flash and another on the lens?

Thanks Pete!
I will think about the polariser over the lens. I have to attach it on the rear side though, and I am not quite sure how to.... But I think that will only be a minor problem....

If you use single polarisers on both the source and the lens you could probably control the reflections a bit better. Might be worth fiddling with.

Is it me or do we not get very many interesting bugs in the UK. On Sunday all I found were ladybirds, some drab looking flies and a bee in stupor taking shelter under a petal.

I'm afraid it's you Paul! 
All of the ones Rense has shot are common in the UK. Maybe you have very efficient birds up in Suffolk!!

I love the weevil and for Paul - have you never found one in a bag of flour?

Hopefully not that one though!!
But you might have found its youngsters in a dying pot plant!!

Rense didn't spot my earlier question, but I thought he had one of a jumping spider. I had one at work today and much to my office mate's disgust, I picked him up and played with him for a bit. Then I put him safely in one of our plants

Rense, you inspire me to go macro with shots like these. Very Very impressive.. well done
