Thanks jax zee. I've been shooting everything I can with that rig all summer, lots of good shots of everything small enough to shoot...bees, wasps, tiny flowers, spiders, you name it...
and a couple more I just had to share, these are not exactly insects, but the humble abodes they create. One is even home...
This one was found hanging on a shrub branch empty. Hinged lid, made something like a wasp nest, out of material that resembles brown paper. It was still there a month later, I'm planning to look next time I go there, probably this weekend...

This one was spotted moving along the pier at a local Wildlife Management Area. A few minutes later it was in a different spot so I looked closer...a tiny bug inside here, carrying home along wherever it goes. Not sure what bug, all I saw was a tiny (pinhead size) black head peek out now and then and some really tiny legs. It's less than 1/2 inch tall, made of tiny bits of leaves it looks like. The bottom rim is barely the size of a match head.

I never did get a decent shot of the head, but if you look close you can see the ends of a couple of tiny legs in this shot.
