David, I really like #1. Whatever lens you are using, it is doing a great job.

[deetheturk]

Thank you Rita,I am using the Canon 100mm f2.8l is lens for these images

[IzzieK]

I like all of them David but #1 is spectacularly nice...

[bnnrcn]

Again nice images David .#1 is nice with beautiful colours and composition,the ant looks very good too.#3 is excellent to me ,unfortunatelly you don't have the option for BG when you shoot moving critters,that image would be viewed and appreciated much better with a different BG,but you can not tell the creatures 'please go there and pose for me' .I like the silvery look very much and it is sharp with nice details around the head

[Shadowman]

Nice captures.

[Stagecoach]

Thanks for yet another good series David. I like the way you have managed to get both the stamen and ant in focus and the detail in the fly is cracking.

Keep them coming................

Robber flies are always interesting creatures. And you will get some bonus points if you can shoot another one actually eating another fly.

Going by the all black legs, except the base of the tibiae, and white hairs. My first guess would be Machimus rusticus but there are several rather similar options.

[deetheturk]

Yes Geoff I agree,they are amazing critters,this is the first one I've managed to capture!I will get you one with a kill soon

[Downrigger]

All truly excellent, David.

[deetheturk]

Cheers Mark,much appreciated bud

Nice set, David, I particularly like the first one as it makes me wonder what the ant is thinking. eg "It's all Mine!" or "how an I gonna get this home?" Whereas, the other two simply seem to be recoiling from the camera.
