Telegraph.co.uk has a great slide show of scanning electron micrograph (SEM) images of various tiny insects and some spiders. They images have been colored to give them more contrast. Some of them are pretty disgusting, but others are really neat.

Fascinating! Those are amazing, thanks for sharing that!
I think the first one of the maggot is really awesome. I found the meal mite strangely adorable as well. :3
Oh, and Dust mite = headcrab. xD
