The aphids are getting bigger round here:D
 
Ajophotog.

I assume these critters are pretty miniscule. Have you found a way to attach a microscope to the Panasonic? :LOL:

All good shots. No.1 is the best for me.

Haha something like that, the aphid is about 2mm.
 
I think the composition is great in #2 - his back is a bit distracting in #3 but it's still amazingly close!

What lens/tubes/etc do you use for these shots?

Ah, you got sneaky again, eh?
First two have some composition issues, I feel, but they're all nice and sharp.
How many shots do you have to take to get 3 decent ones like these?

It difficult to get the best out of a shot sometimes when dealing with such small creatures, the aphid was only 2mm in length so you can't just move it like you would a larger object. Some things I've shot are pretty hard to tell what they are until you look through the lens :)

I use a panasonic fz8 with a raynox lens.

You should put the FZ8 and the Raynox into your signature ;)
