Did you use a tripod, or were these all handheld?
They all look outstanding.

I really liked the ant picture too. I followed that damn ant around the plant he was on forever waiting for him to stop long enough to focus on him. When he did finally stop I snapped a few quick shots and in this one he looks like he's looking back at as if to say, "what are you following me for?" The Daddy Longleg was pretty much the same story, took a whole bunch of shots trying to get most of him in focus wasn't so easy. The slug of course wasn't going anywhere in any hurry so I got some great shots of him.
I did have a tripod handy but didn't use it for most of these shots, mainly because even at it's lowest setting I couldn't get close enough to the ground to use the macro so I just handheld the camera and kept snapping hoping for the best. That's the beauty of digital, no wasting expensive film!
