Those shots are amazing but how do they do it??? The depth of field is enormous so f40+ I would guess. When you go to that sort of aperture it is very difficult to maintain any colour in the background because it is near impossible to balance the foreground and background lighting.

Would it be high ISO (1600 / 3200) maybe or do they fry the poor little bugs with each frame that they shoot???

Utterly amazing. I'm not surprised by the Russian link - some of those critters look like Chernobyl refugees. Some weird looking hybrids there!
