I just like to add to Chris's comprehensive list, do NOT wear perfume, aftershave lotion etc try and have your smell as natural as possible. Good Luck.

Wow that was a great list..

also, try and approach what you see with the awe of a child..the innocence and wonder of macro makes me giddy and I tell ya, when I get like that it is like I am one with nature..

Usually at this point, who cares about the picture ..I have had the blessing of a butterfly dancing about my head , round and round in circles spelling greetings with the wing pattern....

As I was down in the grass at the edge of my garden..a small beautiful blue dragonfly perched and reperched several times until I finally let the camera hang in my curiosity of it's repetative departure and then return to the same dead flower stalk.

I had worked my way closer and closer until I was right next to it. I slowly raised my hand as I just got this feeling it might climb on to my finger,,never before had I gotten this close (except for when they are brand new with still wet wings ...I like to leave them alone because I think they must feel very vulnerable at this stage and I do not wish to disturb them)
anyway, it did not climb upon my hand but, it allowed me to "pet" it..
so totally cool I was flyin myself for several days afterward..

Neither one of these times yielded me award winners...Who Cares?!!! my life was awarded by being able to get outside myself and visit their world.

okay..sorry I couldn't contribute much..I usually always have kids running and yelling behind me...so bugs usually do not appreciate that and tell me they won't pose because if they do, they will end up in a glass jar gagging and choking for air while starving because grass is just not a well balanced meal .
