an excellent guide
This book has been the number one influence on my insect (and other nature) photography for the past 15 years since I first found it. For the first couple years that I had it, I consulted it almost constantly and now review it periodically. It will teach you to be a perfectionist regarding all aspects of how you compose and capture your images.
