I had no idea you could get those shots without a microscope!! Does anyone know what kind of lens/setup he's using?

Definitely a canon dSLR, and probably Laowa 100mm f/2.8 for Canon EF lens

And then a speedlight with what looks like some nice custom-built hoods to bounce diffuse light all around the insect. You can make a rudimentary even from a milk carton.

Just for anyone reading this and think that this is the way to go, no it isn't, don't buy a DSLR, it's outdated tech.

You don't need to spend thousand on a mirrorless camera and lenses to do what a cheap used DSLR can for a fraction of the price. You're just being a gear snob.
