As title a Female Thaumatomyia notata on feverfew. This tiny fly (2-3mm) was shot with the Canon 40d, Sigma 105 with a full set of tubes and lit with the Mt 24 e twin lite.

Great set. What aperture did you use? You seem to have a really nice and workable DOF

I used f13 @ 1/160 and iso 100 with flash in manual at 1/16 power if I remember correctly. Exif is intact. Thanks for looking.
