Sweet captures for a non Macro dedicated lens, good work. Be careful, next you'll own a Canon 100mm Macro F2.8, then the MPE-65 up to 5x macro), then you'll want the MT-24ex for better lighting. At F2.8 and fast shutter, DOF is tiny, experiment a little- take it out to F11-14, slow the shutter speed down and drop the ISO. Take it out at night and use on camera flash and a torch to highlight what you are trying to capture (makes it a lot easier to focus). Ohh I forgot, a good 2x Teleconverter is a handy addition, but a full set of tubes will serve you better. I am a big fan of macro photography (particularly snakes and lizards)- your imagination is your only limiting factor. Have a look at POTN, they have a great bunch of guys on there willing to help and also access to some awesome tutorials. Enjoy, as I am sure you will.
