Some really awesome stuff there!!

After a bit of playing around I'm slowly getting to grips with the lens. Not sure if it's progression of skills, modification of technique, or tweaking the processing, but I think the photos I took last night are much better than previous photos. The MP-E seems to be sharpest at f5.6 at 5x mag, which is good to know. Also I've modified helicon settings to the slowest, highest detail preserving stacking method, and that must have helped too.

Mate this is insane magnification. You need to stand up a website with the other data associated with these critters and promote it amongst education folk.
Some of the detail on these photos are incredible.

Chuffed with this one.Really does seem that the longer you sit in one spot, the more you see. Kind of increased the contrast a bit, but I think it shows off the speckledness of the nymph really well:

More aphids, I guess they're popular with macro folk due to being so slow moving:

Not sure on this one. Think I missed a trick. These guys were on the underside of a honeysuckle leaf. Prime opportunity to actually focus stack them and get a really good shot of them all. Sadly by the time I'd gotten everything set up and half way through the stack, the adults were moving around too much for the stack to work properly. I also rushed it which meant the stack wasn't aligned as well as it could be. This photo is a fudge using photoshop, rather than a stacking software run. As such I can see a lot of minor mistakes that all add up :(

A honeysuckle leaf? Those tiny leaves? My god man, you appear to have attached an electron microscope to the end of your camera.
Blown away also wtf are those "bugs"?
