A few more taken with the Raynox msn 202. These have to be the hardest critters I've had the pleasure to photography.

Very cool! Did you just keep them in a glass or tank?

I shot them the same way I shot the mosquito larvae in between two pieces of glass.

OK these are excellent as per usual! Now do me a favour (save me time and money :lol:) go get some Seamonkeys hatched and take shots of them! I spent hours and hours last year trying to take decent ones of mine, but gave up in the end. But then I don't have your set up, so that's my excuse :lol:

Hi Jo, my sons got sea monkeys on the go at the moment, I'll have a go tomorrow if I get time :D
