What a face! How close did you have to get?

I love seeing the compound eyes of insects up close so much that you can make out each little piece. Awesome.

That is a very good shot of a robber fly. Sometimes they have their prey in their "spear". Then you get a photo of victor and vanquished.

Very nice, and I believe that is an Ice Plant flower, yes? Good work.

Sure. The upload was 2000 x 1378 pixels and just under 2 megabytes, uploaded to the user gallery. Then I linked that photo to here. Is there a better way? I was just trying to save having to resize/upload the same pic twice.

Thank you! Taken with the humble little Pentax K-r, the DA 55-300, and a Raynox 150 attached to the end.

The ladybug shots are not bad. As you can see, the focus is very slim with a Raynox on a long lens, so it might take practice to get the focused area on the bug's face and let the rest of the body be slightly blurry if you have to.
I do not use "live view" at all. Hold the camera's eyepiece right up to your eye; you will get better control that way. Distance is variable; especially with a zoom lens. Experiment. If you zoom way in, you will only get the bug's face sharp. Zoom out a little, and you can get more of the subject in focus.
In addition, try using your pop-up flash in conjunction with the Raynox. It tends to render sharpness on more areas of the subject. If you use the pop-up flash, close your aperture (go to a larger number) and/or lower your ISO along with bumping up your shutter speed to accommodate for the extra light.
If those picutres look too "flashy", you could always get a flash diffuser or even tie a white tissue around your flash as a workaround. Experiment. Have fun.
