Looks good to me too!
The thought of shooting spiders gives me the creeps but I see many nice shots here. Do the spiders ever jump on you? Seems like they wouldn't hold still either. Well, I have a lot to learn! :) :)

Thanks Inshooter. Spiders jumping on me has never been a problem. The problem has always been that they are trying to get away. I'm a beginner at serious macro. I'm learning every day & will always have a lot more to learn. :)

Not on me, but I have had them jump on my lens.

Yes, especially the small jumping spiders who see their own refection in the camera lens. Most spiders have poor eyesight and are not aggressive, so most flee large items moving towards them (like a camera). Jumping spiders, on the other hand, are quite curious & docile. Macro-photographers often place jumping spiders in small dioramas, to photograph them in their natural element, but in a controlled situation.
