Nice finds, what are those yellow eggs Paul ?
As it goes, what is that 1st shot ?.
Spring is arriving this weekend for you so should see loads of photos soon
Ladybird eggs Graham m8 - most likely the Harlequin.
The first shot I suspect is Woolly Aphids... they are a pain in the backside.

As always they look superb!
On a side note Paul, I really need to have a go.. I have a dedicated Fuji macro lens and my Olympus has macro on it but given the Fuji lens is made for it is magnification is pretty poor...
Any recommendations? I have canon, Olympus, Sony and Fuji kit.. Extension tubes for the Fuji perhaps?

Andrew - there is a good write up about extension tubes here Andrew > http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/macro-extension-tubes-closeup.htm
They would work on most lenses/camera combos (not sure about the CSC) including your Fuji 60mm, but the further reduction in DoF that macro creates with tubes is more difficult to control due to the lack of it!
I only use Canon DSLR's, and I would recommend a macro lens for the pure quality the glass gives. A 60mm macro is more difficult to use as you have to be nearer to the subject - so I would recommend something like a Sigma 105 EX OS which is not overly expensive (if you go Sony, the image stabiliser is not included in the lens because Sony use sensor shift technology of course).
It may be worth trying macro filters (various dioptres) as a cheap way to learn macro though these reduce quality as you add additional glass layers to the lens. For more money, one of the Raynox lens attachments would be great to get into macro a mid-range price.
HTH.
