I really like all these, with the second one as my favourite, plenty of nice detail.

1 question, how in (insert your own idol) name did you manage to capture such sharp images when the wee beasty is in mid flight?
What equipment did you use?

+1 Almost looks like you drove a needle through the body and stuck it in the studio

All fantastic ....number two for me....think the background colour just makes it my favourite.

thanks everyone for last comments
are real, no trap or similar electronic
The problem is that there is nothing to explain
D300 and 70/180 macro. Time fast, Burst and manual focus
and observe the behavior of insects to find the best time to do these shots
