No idea how he did that - but it sure looks awesome.

Nice thanks! What kind of macro lens can capture this kind of detail?

Wow, and even more impressibe considering the camera used.

pictures are great!

but article title is equally fantastic: "Would dew believe it"

Well, he couldn't take these images if insects were alive, that's for sure. He probably did freeze them with a spray.
Anyway, beautiful images.

Actually they are quite easy to take, you have to be out early morning sunrise, the dew is very thick then and the insects are immoblized by it and the morning chill. You need a good macro lens if you are using a dslr.

Again, he uses a FujiFilm FinePix S6500fd, flash from his camera. It's a 6 megapixel camera (not a dslr with a special lens). He says that he goes out at 2 - 3 am and simply uses a "torch" to light the bugs. I toured an old castle ruin in Wales one summer (I'm from the US) and was so excited because the person in charge said we needed torches to see around. I envisioned getting a flaming torch like some kind of medieval movie until I learned that a torch was simply a flashlight.

I once 'confessed' to a US official in an airport that I had a maglite in my hand luggage. Got a funny look, but they said we had to tell them if we were carrying torches ...

I have some dragonfly hatchlings covered with dew (not this good though ).  After hatching they have to wait for the sun to warm up and dry out their wings to be able to move and fly so makes for easy photography. Mine were about 6am, but depending on where they have located themselves it can be 8-9am before they get enough sun.

However this could very easily be done with dead bugs and a water-glycerine? spray mix or freeze spray as mentioned. I take a lot of lizard images and grabbing the lizard and putting it on ice for an hour so that they are cold and can barely move is sadly not an uncommon practice (personally I'd just miss the shot, plenty more lizards out there). 

I wasn't trying to make any point. Other posters kept asking what camera, what lens, etc. I found the info out and was merely letting those who were asking know the facts. Yes, use a better camera for stock if you will. If I needed a photo of a bug covered with dew I would buy them. If I needed a shot of a long line of smiling business people covered in dew I suspect it would have to be taken in a studio with controlled lighting with a giant camera with a giant lens (and probably not at 2 am).
