Sure, it's a pretty simple setup. :-)
Canon 7D
580EXII flash with home-made diffuser, hand-held off-camera
Wireless flash trigger

13mm extension tube
EXIF is in the pics if you would like to see exposure info.
Tiny flowers with an even tinier little orange bug.

WTF: Wasp The F***?!
This thing is like two inches long, and it is using some sort of under-belly appendage to lay it's eggs on the tree.

Wonderful captures!!Such amazing detail.May I ask what your particular gear was for this series?
Thanks for the comments everyone!
On these shots, I used a 105mm Macro lens with a couple of extension tubes. Lighting was from two speedlights, one on each side. :)

Nice. I do have a question. Why are all your subjects surrounded by a white background?
Many of the bugs I find and photograph are located on an outside wall of my house, and it's painted off-white. By the time I hit it with a flash, it appears pure white. ;)
I also shoot a few in my studio, and the white background seems to give the best detail. Still, I try to shoot most bugs where I find them.

These guys are among my favorites. Imagine a Sci-Fi movie with gigantic ant lion larvae on some distant planet waiting at the bottom of oversized sand pits for some stray astronaut to chance by...........
:lol: I just had this conversation yesterday, these little guys would make for a great horror flick.
