Damselflys look like tender and fragile creatures but in fact they are very succesfull predators;this female Azure damselfly catched a tiny fly and started to devour it in front of my lens;
Canon 10D, 150 mm macro, fill flash to reduce some of the heavy backlighting;

She must have been too hungry to pay you much attention. You surely got close with your setup. Well done.

Another great picture Herman!
The echo of the spines on plant and insect is interesting.

Very close - was this with extension tubes or just the macro lens?
