The Los Angeles Natural History Museum held the annual Bug Fair this weekend: http://www.nhm.org/site/activities-programs/bug-fair

At one of the vendor displays, I photographed a few adults & caterpillars of the domesticated Chinese silkmoth (Bombyx mori).

Hand-held macro set-up used: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-4.html#1975173

Excellent. Love the resolution on the eating machine. How much did your settings change between the O-Flash and the soft box?

At ISO 200 (reduced), 1/200-sec at f/16 (same). Speedlight output greatly reduced from O-Flash set-up.
