Macro Lens

I love, love, LOVE my macro lens!  Since I got it, I haven't really used my big lens at all.
I was playing around with it a couple of days ago and found a tiny little gnat on a flower.
Can you see him on the bottom petal of the middle flower?  This is the Flowering Quince in my back yard.  To give you an idea of how tiny he was, each bloom is about the size of a quarter.

I got closer and tried to focus in on him.
I didn't get a lot of detail but it was the best I could get since I hand-held my camera.  I think it would have been better if I had put it on a tripod.  Or if I had a zoom macro lens.  And I'll have to win the lottery before I get one of those!  Mine is a Sigma 50mm F2.8.  It works well for my limited abilities!!
