Your photos look pretty close to 1:1 magnification or higher. A Canon 50-mm f/1.8 lens is not a macro. Are you also using extension tubes?

Your set-up will work (obviously), but keep note of the disadvantages that you encounter. A true macro lens will eliminate or lessen many of these.
When it comes time to seriously look at a true macro lens, I suggest the Tokina 100-mm or the Sigma 105-mm. Both are excellent, and more affordably priced.
The Canon 100-mm and Canon 100-mm L lenses are also excellent, but higher priced.
All four lenses have images posted on this forum.

Do not make the Yellow Jacket photo your Desktop background. It may scare you when you turn your computer on.
