Good shot there - well focused on the eyes.

To me clearly it looks like a spider, but I assume it has evolved in such a way to look like an ant to fool predators?

Well focused shot, with just enough depth of field.

One scary bug though, glad we don’t have them in the UK, or do we ?.

Take care.

I'm using DIY Flash diffuser - using Styrofoam (used for wrapping goods). Put it in front of the ring flash ( on top of the lens). The ring flash is not snap at its place. Hanging on top of the lens using ruler (made of wood - more stable).... It is still in BETA stage though..hehehe

Thanks bro. It seems working very good. Some time I need to adjust and play with my EV setting if the subject is to shiny.
