The Garden Orb is fantastic!

How do you id these little critters?

'Collins' insect book ;)

Love them, especially number 4
Been wanting to go out and get some of these shots for a while, wondering if you can help:: what lens man? and some info about the shots?

Cheers matey. (y)

All were taken with a Tamron 90mm f2.8 with a full set of extension tubes. Light source is an off camera (Diffused) Jessops 360AFD Flash. All shot around aperture f10-f13 with a shutter speed of around 1/200-1/250.
 
Love the colours in number 1, and number 3 is cracking! The velvet mite looks tiny! Did you know it was there or was it a bonus when peering through the viewfinder?!
 
Nice set Chris- I think I'll come up and stay with my brother ( he lives in Stafford) if I can get such a variety of shots
