I hope these count as macro, if not please move them. I took both of these photos at the Sawanoi Sake Brewery in Japan. Let me know what you think!

Both lovely shots,
#1 is a longhorn beetle (climbing Mt Fuji ?)
#2 - orbweb spider- looks a bit similar to the orchard spider in the US.

Both of these were shot on the Tama-Gawa River about 2 hours East of Mount Fuji. Even that far away, the area was beautiful! Thanks for the kind words, and your insect i.d. skills are pretty amazing!

The first one is what we in the US call an Asian Longhorn Beetle and it is devastating communities in New Jersey and where I live, here in Massachusetts. It is an insect we do Not want to see in the wild!
