Wow! Great shots, all of them. That first one is my favorite. Gives me the creeps and yet is so interesting to look at how it's body is. Probably dandy camoflouge. The focus and colors on that one are amazing!

Not bad for a kit lens! If you crop tighter, does image hold acceptable resolution?
Your photo is of a Monarch caterpillar (Danaus plexippus). Adult below.

Why would you waste money on a macro lens when you can turn out photographs like this. Amazing job.
