I was fortunate enough to escape up to tropical Queensland last week and while I was there i managed to shoot some bugs with the new K-7
All taken handheld with sigma 70 and 540flash (except #1 had no flash)

Nice ones, Nr 7 looks dangerous

Colours and detail of #1 and 6 are stunning.
melander's right - something about that insect in #7 looks sinister.
The tropics do have such a diverse set of bugs...

[Scottnorwo]

something is bugging me about your pictures???
Nice shots and collection of bugs

Some are looking quite dark to me here.

But that first one is clear, detailed and with lovely bokeh.

Nice work. I agree, maybe a little dark but not drastically so and can easily be fixed. I really like #3, I think that one is great as it is.

Beautiful shots! They're a little more colourful than the critters I'm used to seeing around here.

Thanks for everyones kind words! I swear its the equipment and not the photographer!

And here's me thinking how cute #7 is! Of course I know he was hanging out on a leaf with some big bad ants! The poor little fella is only 6mm long!

The detail on #6 is amazing, You can see a whole bunch of parasites on its back and head at 100%!

Yes a couple do need a bit of a boost now you mention. Its not helped by all that green either!
