 I found these very small bugs on a Milkweed seed pod. I have no idea what they are but I do know that this was the best I got after trying to get this for 2 days. This was actually taken in my garage, much to my wifes dismay. I used only a SB-800 for light.

Wowzers, there's a lot of them! Cool shot. Not sure I want to look at it too much, makes me "itchy" - I guess it's good when a picture does that, it's getting through.

I love the contrast between the red of the bugs & the green of the milkweed. I bit more DOF would have made it better. Nice work.

Wow thats alot of little critters. And to put them in your garage to get the strobe on them. You get extra points for that one. I dont think I would go that far. Nicely done.
