Preparing Macro

I've never tried macro before. Although i tried water droplets, never the intention was to go macro. Well, my uni will have an exhibition on exotic pets this Wednesday. My wife and I are planning to exhibit our Tarantula, Star Tortoise as well as Golden Apple Snail. It would be fun. Exotic will also trigger me with macro shooting. I assume that it will be a macro heaven.. Many animals to shoot. Weird and odd looking animals. So during my trip to "Pasar Minggu" last weekend, we came across one guy selling bamboo since Chinese New Year is around the corner. I couldn't help noticing a tiny fly on one of his plants. It was oddly sitting still. Not much movement. Not even attempting to fly. I took out my slr and tried a test macro shot on it. Shot a few. and here is the best i got..
