I found another one today -but this one is even smaller than the one I shot yesterday. Same 100mm macro lens + 37mm of extension tubes and they don;t even fill the frame...

    Almost looks like the fly is looking at you with a "hey - can you help a guy out" expression on his face.

    Those Kenko Tubes sure come in handy don't they :D
    Half a fly, that spider made quite a meal of him.

    Thanks Skippy! I actually bought the Canon set -probably should have gone for the Kenko since they are cheaper...

    That's a crab spider. Not very nice and likes to defend it's home. They scare me a wee bit. but I love shooting spiders.
    "Johannah, your going down a one way road."
    "No I'm not.... Ooh yes I am. Crap."

    Yup, an ambush predator that doesn't build a web. They just wait for something to get close and then they grab it with those long front legs. Since you like them:

    We have a lot of them here in Naples, Italy -especially this time of year. I quit shooting them unless they are feeding, so when I find one I just mentally map the location and keep checking back.

    Again, excellent macros, the one with the little spider face looking straight at us is my favorite. Spring is almost here....
