Annoyed at not getting photos tonight, pleased it was because it was storming and pissing down rain though 
Here's some from yesterday.
Poor as it is I can't believe I actually got one of these to sit still through so many RC/TTL preflash shots and got one that mostly works of it in the middle of taking off and drinking some dew. Even at 4.30 these guys are already so fast it's like watching cheap stop motion
Finally found a male of mopsus mormon! I've seriously never seen one of these in the whole time I've been doing macro (which isn't that long but still). Females everywhere, never found a male - this one was 8 feet up an easter cassia tree and I pretty much had to shoot it blind with the camera at the end of my arms. Also think I worked out why I've not 'seen' them - they're a) properly big - 2.5cm+ and b) in addition to the size, in silhouette they don't look much like a jumping spider, they look like something a bit nastier and likelier to bite that I've probably been disinclined to look all that closely at
Don't even know how this thing is airworthy but obviously it works somehow
First properly big caterpillar I've seen this spring, about 13cm long. Kind of halfheartedly shot it because it looked a very boring monotone grey at non-macro scale, quite impressed by how pretty it really is.
