A wonderful series of photographs Carol. #4 is stunning IMO. They have such a disgusting lifestyle, but are quite beautiful up close !!!

Well taken.

Hand held, manual focus with a live skittish subject and a 100mm(+) lens??!! Very impressive - excellent pictures.

Thanks eyrr! I just haven't had the best results using AF with the Macro lens, so I use manual focus now. Yes, all my shots are handheld; spur of the moment.
