Yes its a beautiful lens; I need to get it out more often. But since I have moved to Canada there are not that many insects because the -35 deg C kills them all! I also use the 100-400 mkII L for my wildlife photography (also an amazing lens) but it does quite close up shots (compared to the mk1) so I have been a bit lazy with the 100 macro. I shot this with quite a high ISO so I could use f/16 as the DOF is crazy shallow when doing macro as you point out.

Haha I am grateful for our small insect population here!! Although there are plenty of Black Widows to photograph! Just find a wood pile! They're so shiny and creepy looking!
Oh yes I have seen some beautiful images out of the 100-400 II L for sure. Lots of bird photographers here on the island, and they love it.
I look forward to seeing what you produce when you get your 100L out more! I'll be jealous! :D
Yes the redback is a close relative of the North American black widow. I will have to look out for them.
