I have been taking photos of birds and insects for over 20 years, and have a number of websites dedicated to various insect groups. The most extensive ones are for dragonflies and damselflies, robber flies, and tiger beetles, and all are accessible from my main web site. I frequently head out looking for one thing and get fascinated by some other insect entirely...

I use Nikon bodies, most often a D200. For small insects, I use primarily a Nikkor 200mm Macro. Though it's older and fairly slow, it has amazing glass. For more distant work I use a Nikkor 70-300mm VR Zoom, often with a Kenko 36mm extension tube, and for out in rivers, I use a Sigma 70-300mm macro zoom. I always use a tripod, if I can.
