ABOUT THE INSECTS I SHOOT ..
all the insects in my portfolio were alive (unless they were being eaten) & have been photogaphed in their natural surroundings ..
any moisture you see would be either from the dew or rain ..
i shoot with Canon - for all macro photos i use the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro.. it's helpful to have your own light source .. i use a Canon Speedlight 600EX-RT external flash with a Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce plastic diffuser ..
Kenko do a set of three extension tubes which i use in different combinations .. the Canon100mm macro lens without the tubes is great too depending on the size of the insect ..
UPDATE - April 2019 - since writing the above i am now using Olympus mirrorless almost exclusively for insect macros and everything else .. :) ..
camera - Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II or III ..
Lens - Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm 1:2.8 Macro Lens
Flash - Olympus FL900-R ..
UPDATE - April 2023
Lens - Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm f/3.5 Macro IS PRO ..
Flash - Godox V1 Pro Olympus Round Head TTL Speedlite Flash with Godox Dome Diffuser ..
UPDATE - now i shoot with whatever takes my fancy at the time ... Canon or Olympus or Samsung galaxy ..
