That is so wonderful of you to share your tips with us and these amazing photos!
I freakin LOVE closeups of insects and even bought myself a proper DSLR camera to take macro shots like these- unfortunately I haven't had that much of a chance to use it and it has a fixed lens too, but I will still keep your tips in mind and maybe even borrow one of my friends old ones to have a go, so thanks once again for sharing the tips!
