Steve, these are really great!
Esp. no. 2, with his wonderful feathery antennae.
Flicking through "The Book", I think it's Chironomus Plumosus.
Absolutely my sort of images.
Thanks for letting us see!

Damn things have been annoying me all week.
Cool pics though. The furry antenna are great - couldn't you train it to clean your sensor?

Yes - great pics. Especially like #2 with the antenna and #3 for the eyes and the way you've caught the irridescence (or however you spell it :roll of the wings.

Nice pics, though I think they look a bit soft, could maybe do with a tweak. I took the liberty of having a go at the third one to show what I mean, just a curves adjustment and a bit of sharpening, plus cloning out a few spots. i will remove it if you want.

Somewhere warm and sunny
First one was inside and lit using the onboard flash
Second was ouside so taken through double glazing lit with the DOI ring flash
Third was also inside again lit with the DOI but sadly I think there is a bit of camera shake, he shot off though when the flash went off so I couldn't get another shot
