They aren't nearly as good as some of the other shots in this thread, but I did enjoy taking pics of this Polyphemus moth I spotted outside my front door about 4am this morning. It was the first one I've ever seen in person.

you guys shooting these with flash?

 

[Misled]

Sometimes. Depends on available light and what I'm expecting from the shot. It's something you can tell just by looking at the area. If it's shadowed and I'm shooting with a smaller aperture, yes. If I'm really close, almost always yes as it can help control shadows. If I'm at a little distance, (not much needed when shooting at 2.8), I'll try to use what's available if it looks good.

I'm still pretty new to photography. But I really love macro and over the past couple months of using my DSLR I have managed to get a few good shots. Here are some of my best. As always critique welcome. Enjoy!

Of course the mandatory butterfly shot

Some sort of fly that decided to kindly stand still as I set up the shot.

A honey bee.

I love monarch caterpillars and they love the milkweed!

Not sure what kind of caterpillar this is but it is cool.
