Macro / insect photo gallery

My oh my, is macro fun. Until July 2015, 98% of the photos I've taken have been of birds, with a few other wildlife or landscape shots thrown in. That all changed once I bought a truly incredible macro lens, the Canon 100mm 2.8L IS. Shooting macro, particularly insects, opens up a whole new world. When I started taking photos of birds, I knew very little about bird species, and each new "discovery" was a true delight. I'm having the same wonderful experience now with macro photography.
