Took this for Nifty-Fiftyish, then noticed this Bug Shots without a Macro thread. I thought, why not. Ha! Hope this is OK to do.
There are a lot of GREAT shots in this thread. How do you do it?

Find bug; get close; wait for wind to die; cross metaphorical fingers; take a slew of pictures; select, crop, and process.

Speaking for myself alone, of course
