Cool shot! I like to guess the aperture of your close focus 100-400 bug shots, but I was WAY off on this one...guessing a heavy crop? You got a lot in focus for only f7.1

Ronny,
Your macro pictures shot with the 100-400 never stop to amaze me. Top notch.
Would you share your secret on achieving such sharpness?
Is the flash the magic ingredient here allowing for stepped down aperture with reasonable ISO values?

Thanks Dom ! it is much appreciated
A good tip is to use flash as much as possible on smaller bugs
however, the picture of the Cockchafer is without flash and taken with A9 at 400mm f5.6 Iso 500 1/200
