    These are great shots. Sharp with good lighting. Are these little ones yours?

    Leahe,
    Thanks for the comment, I think.
    A little puzzled re "Are these little ones yours". If you are asking whether this is my shot, I can assure you that it is. I take copyright very seriously for both my photos and also respect other photographers copyright.
    Cheers

    Sorry, no offense, I was just wondering if the critters were yours. I guess I should have asked where do you find such specimens to photograph?

    Leahe,
    Now I'm with you. I don't keep any insects captive. All shots are done either in my backyard, or in bushland in rural Western Australia.
    No dramas re previous comments.
    Cheers

    No dramas at all. I love checking out your shots. Such incredible detail and beautiful specimen. Some day I'll get to Australia, but I don't think I will be getting down low and shooting what you are. I'll leave that to you. bowdown.gif

    Lovely jumpers but think the ant trail shot steals the show.

    The little jumping spider is not much bigger than the Ant it has captured!
    Was there much of a fight?

    Interesting how the spiked hairs on the legs of the Second Spider seem to all be standing straight up.

    Nice work obecanobe clap.gif .... Skippy :D
