For those who have asked .. my trick for shooting bugs that do mind having a camera lens in their face is to put them in the freezer for about 30 seconds. It doesnt kill them and they stay still for about a minute.

I bought a little bug house at the dollar store and it works beautifully for putting them in the freezer.
