Such amazing sharpness, detail and depth of field. As one who has only dabbled in bugs a few times I appreciate some of the difficulties and challenges in capturing these guys.
A tremendous tool, well utilized helping you to produce tremendous results.

I got 3 nice shots which are here: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php?blog=2 Permalink: http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/june-odonata-2013 The last shot on the post - the Bluet Damselfly - is a departure for me because it is a focus stacked composition of 16 separate shots. This was compiled in Photoshop. The focus stacking tool there had seemed to be useless to me because it was such a PITA to manually stack images as layers in a single file - but I finally stumbled on a webpage that explains how to use bridge to open multiple files and then make them just layers of one file in Photoshop - ah, life is good. I can see doing more focus stacking in the future - it worked pretty well in the field yesterday. C&C appreciated.
