Skippy´s isopods

What camera do you have? From my experience it's best to have either a ring light, someone holding a flashlight, or bright sunlight. This allows you to shoot at quicker shutter speeds, this is especially helpful for quicker isopods.

You should have enough megapixels that you can crop the picture a little bit to increase detail at a slight loss of quality. I don't have much experience with macro lenses but if you bought teleconverters and/or extension tubes then you should be able to get closer or with more zoom to get more details. However if you use either/both of these you need more light since they both decrease the light coming into the sensor.
