Splendid macro! Ce magnifique! Seems to munching away on something tasty. How did you get the little critter to stand and pose for you without moving? I guess it was too busy eating to really care.

Thank you all for the comments, it is really appreciated.. Answering your question goodoldboy.. All of my equipments are using the original CANON EF and EFS series lenses.. And all of them are built in with the USM (ULTRA SONIC MECHANISM) means no sounds when the lens focus moves.. And that is what scared the insects.. But... At the same time... I can get close enough to any insect/animal/bird with some special tricks.. So i am used to it my friend :) Thank you again and be tuned for more Super MACROS.. JOE

Oh wow!! This is exactly the kind of shots I love and I want to take! Obviously I don't have the right lens for it. The detail is amazing and the colors are perfect. sigh I might be just a little bit envious of this shot.....maybe just a little. ;)
