Macro photography opens up a whole new world if you enjoy natural history photography. Insects are everywhere and it's a great way to train yourself to spot wildlife which you might otherwise overlook. Obviously you have the more common insects such as Bees and Butterflies but there is an incredible array or insects to see if you start to look. Some are tricky to photograph even with a macro lens but below are a few of the more interesing insects I've managed to photograph so far, some of which are available to order as prints or licence as stock images.
