Macro photographs of insect

This is a collection of the macro photographs and videos of insects I have taken over the last few years.  I took all of these photographs and videos with a Canon 5D Mark II camera body and a Canon MP-E 65mm 1x - 5x lens or a Sigma 180mm lens.  I also use a Canon MT-24EX twin flash unit.

Unknown Red and Black Beetles

I found these ed and lack bug nymphs in my back yard.  They were in 5 clumps and each clump had hundreds of bugs.  I am not sure what species they are.

MP-E 65mm macro photographs of flower

This is my latest series of MP-E 65mm macro photographs of flowers. I use this lens on a Mark 5D II with a Canon MT-24EX twin flash. I find that macro photography is my favorite type of photography. The Canon MP-E 65mm lens is a must for anyone interested in doing extreme macros.
