Wow, nice shot! You must have been at the exact right time to be able to see this in action!

Thank You! This image was one of many I shot that day, while hidden amongst a large area of vegetation. Once hidden, the insects really don't mind your presence and usually carry on with daily activity as usual. The secret is patience and don't move around a lot!

Thank You! It's not that difficult! I use a 100 mm macro lens with an inexpensive extension tube (mine is Kenko and it comes with 3 sizes, a 12, 20, and 36 mm). The extension tube narrows your dof, so you must compensate with a higher aperture. Your distance to your subject is greatly reduced so you must use a tripod and do a preliminary focus on the general area of your subject. I will pick a likely spot for a subject or bait a spot, depending on my subject. A wired shutter release is nice to avoid camera shake and spooking your subject. I will often do a 3 shot burst to ensure a good capture. I'm sure there are many other ways to get close to your subject, this is just one of my favorites and it's rather inexpensive. Oh ..Important, when you buy your tubes, make sure they are wired so that your auto focus will work. They may not even make the unwired ones anymore. When I bought mine they were 45.00 for the set.
