Standard run of the mill Hover-fly.
This guy was taking a break. Found him slumbering on the window sill.
Gave this lot some honey to drink.
One of the honey drinkers. This was taken x5 magnification.
Some type of Moth I guess.
This Snail was shot life size (x1). This is the most i could fit in the frame.
A Ladybug type Beetle I think. He was about 4mm long.
This is a Froghopper. The same guy responsible for the Cockoos Spit you would find on plants. This is the Adult.
A small Fly. Like a Hover-fly. About 3 – 4 mm long.
aw wow!! i really need to get a macro lens. those are mega. love the row of ants eating honey. snail looks excellent also, especially with the white nike swoosh on his side, or is it a go faster stripe! you use a ring flash?
Great set of macro’s are the from the MP-E65?? they look very close to be a macro.Maybe 3x or 4x life size?
Truly excellentThanks for the comments guys.
I never noticed the Nike stripe fguihen. :) I used the MR-14 ringlite flash.
Steelydan. All the shots range from liftsize 1x to 5x magnification.

Scotty. I have never used a point and shoot for macro shots. You could try this website. He shoots with a point & shoot. http://macro-photography-blog.com/
Hope this helps.
Dave OSthanks for the help much appreciated.
Can I just ask? Say if i cought a spider for instance what house hold item would be a good background to place him on?
wold a sheet of A4 paper be good enough (sorry for the q’s im new to photography.
I’d say, choose whatever would help excentuate the spider and look most natural.
