Fantastic shots Brian ! Truly inspirational. May I ask one thing tho - how does the insect/bug stay still long enough whilst you change camera settings? Or do you change them fairly quickly?
Cheers,

Thanks for the comments again

BraN- I don't change any settings just move the whole camera forward a bit. I've got fairly good at doing this quickly

Obviously the bug does quite frequently move and I just get one shot- not necessarily a bad thing - if the bug is doing something interesting I sometimes take a sequence and turn them into animated GIFs rather than stacking them.
