 I found some more interesting subjects this afternoon, this moth was impressive.
 105mm 1/500 f/32, flash
   Then this nice little Preying Mantis was looking for dinner, it was a fast mover and hard to catch
 105mm 1/60 f/36, flash
   Then things got a bit extreme, this ant is only ~5mm long, the droplet is only 1mm across, and needing a bit more DOF I resorted to the 55mm macro and extension ring + TC201 teleconverter to give me 3:1 magnification.
 1/400 f/~64, flash

 All excellent - especially the moth.  Did you super glue it to your finger or was it just friendly?

 just friendly I think, theres been a few of them around lately... actually I can see 2 more of them on the outside of the window right now, maybe they heard about the bright flash and want to try it out for themselves
