Yes
A meadow full off daisies, a bit of a needle in a haystack job but persevered and found a few different insects including my first Hover of the year (Not sure on ID if anyone can Help)

Love them all.. what lens do you use to get results like that?

And what is that in the 3rd picture down?
 
Wow these are amazing. What distance were they away from the lens? I use the canon 100mm + tubes and find that i have to get very close to get anything in focus. Of course when you try to get closer they fly off :)
 
great detail and nice and sharp, what are you using to light these little fella's.
 
Superb shots!!! Very nice..
 
As said by everyone else
superb set of pictures

Sometimes very close down to about 40mm, again I loose more shots than I did with the 100mm for the reason of disturbing the insects but it makes it worthwhile when you do finally get in close

Thanks for the ID - A real cute hover I think almost has a smile on his face...
