Thanks friends.Ronnie i don't use any special light .It's just the flash of the camera.The trick is to let these creatures know that you are near them ,then they freeze for a moment ,others let themself fall off the leafs and try to hide somewhere .Then you just take your shots.

How did you get them to sit still for so long?? That is sooooooooooo cool! Great shallow DOF accentuates the heads. Nice light, great positioning.
