These 14 images are from a test session using a close-up lens on a 45-175 lens on a Panasonic G9 to see how it compared to the bridge camera I normally use with close-up lenses for this type of subject.

I captured 166 images in around 16 minutes, so around one every six seconds on average. I kept 33 of them , about 20%, which, for me at least, is quite high for subjects like these that were mostly moving around with only brief pauses. I find autofocus helps a lot in these circumstances.

There are 1300 pixel high versions in this album at Flickr. (The last two images of the fly are from later in the day.)

That 2nd shot is really very nice Nick, so much detail in there but with your shots that`s not unusual.
All great though.
 
Detail and lighting superb throughout, I think I would go for #10 if I had to choose a favourite as I quite like its pose.
