I love the "mouton chops" on the last one.

The springtail under the harlequin looks like another Dicytomina.

My first reaction to insect macros like this is Ewwwww (being a weeny when it comes to bugs). But then I take a step back and wonder at the amount of talent it takes to get shots like this. You and most of the other macro shooters on this thread amaze me. Wonderful shots (even if they are a little ewwww!)

Thanks Jo for the comments.
Fairly obviously I don't think most bugs are ewwww although even I have trouble liking slugs
