I always squirm at macros of bugs and the like - but the eyes on these creatures fascinate me so much! Awesome photography!

very cool! do you set your Fstop low on these shots or is that a product of the lens being macro?

probably the product of macro,i find that with a close-up around F11 works best for me personally,and the closer you get the less DOF there is...with the first 2 i was no more than 5cm away from the subject,obviously the 3rd is a crop
