Canon Xti + 100mm macro + 12mm extension tube (1.2x life size). The subjects were in a difficult spot to shoot in, and the crab spider didn't like me getting close so I only have this one usable frame.

    Thats a good one Dalantech, it's amazing the size of the kill the spider will go for, especially when you see the size of the actual spider.
