Wonderful.
The Jumping Spider (#6) seems to have eyes everywhere.

I don't do macro but I enjoy the work of those who do. Some of these spider shots take me into an unknown world. Thanks for posting.

Excellent shots ! Love the Green Spider, that's #1 for me. The mating ants is an unusual shot too - what did you do ? Haul her out of the nest

This is lurking in the shed! I'm sure he came out to check if I was potential dinner. I only took this one picture as I wanted to put as much distance between us ASAP. It's uncropped too!

They're all brilliant Steve.
I don't know how you manage to get such clear shots with the tubes - mine are always underexposed (by that I mean black) or blurry.
Your shots always give me something to aspire to.
Keep 'em coming.
Kind regards
Charlotte

Thanks Charlotte, It is strange you should sat that because when I see your shots I think the same. I always use the ring flash with the tubes that way I get plenty of light it works for me. Oh and catch in focus, without that I could never get these shots.

Somewhere warm and sunny
and chased out a whole host of creepy crawlies. Grabbed the 50mm and the tubes and attached the DOI ring flash and had an hour of snapping... I think I deserved it?
Here are some for your perusal.
1. Male Leaf Hopper
2. Jumping Spider with lunch
3. Mating Ants
4. 6 legged harvest Spider (Not guilty)
5. Green Spider on lavender
6. Jumping Spider, same one as earlier. I watched her jump the ant she's carrying. But to her annoyance it was a spent carcass.
7. Orb Spider
8. Mating Leaf Hoppers... excuse the dirty great mote of dust at these magnifications even the tiniest piece of dust looks like a length of rope!
