Just checking surface tension.
I was amazed to see the ladybug claw holding on to water surface but now drowning into it.
May be its caused by the leaf's water resistance that the water formed such shape that the bug could "stand" by holding it! Any science guys able to explain it?

This is one of more difficult images to stack... (3 shots stacked). The bee moved its legs and also its body position slightly, so stacking was tad difficult, but eye texture and drop on the wings were both too tempting to leave out of the image.

Climbing Down
Some people have asked me how I create a black background on the field.. I don't, the flash does.
In this picture, since the closest leaf / tree from the grass blade did not get sufficient light from the flash, its fully black.
When you are at f/22, ISO 100, 1/200s, if the flash does not fire you get a black frame, and if the light falls only on the subject you get perfect subject isolation.

Pregnant Fly
Maternity Photography.
As my close friends would have observed, i started with portraits, then moved on to wedding photography (including new high-court definition). Had done child photography in the meanwhile.. so with some persuasion from clients, i also did a session on Maternity Photography. Do send in the inquiries directly to me. I will give you due credit (and share the compensation!) Thank you!
