Smashing set of images - fascinating! I'm also intrigued by the foreground bokeh effect in the water strider image. What lens was that? Thanks.

Thank you. Used a Canon 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4XTC and 12mm extension tubes for the water strider.

Amazing pictures.
I specially love the mystic of the Cone headed katydid (Panacanthus sp.)
All very inspirering.
