Nice, the little wasp with the eyes is an interesting one

Congrats.

Liking the portrait nicely done.

Thank you, what you didn't have the pleasure of though was the blank frames either side of this one, just kept dropping or lifting out of shot, still played fairly nicely and something I will look out for again I did enjoy having a bash.

Some of the other captures, again all 1:1 with the Pentax 100mm, f/14, shutter duration between 1/60 and 1/180.

Now these are extremely small, but the bite they leave me with is so flaming itchy and annoying! The reason I stopped for the day these were murderous.

The daughter was determined to adopt the big orb weaver, the wife not so much :lol:

She had a tough couple encounters, still 6 legs to go, fortune favours the brave they say ;)

First day back for a month so was just the Pentax 100mm at 1:1, f14, flash either 1/16 or 1/8 power, shutter duration 1/100 or 1/125

Looking at the garden there won't be much left soon, so will be trying to keep some time before they all disappear for the winter.

Very nice set, still there is something missing ..............
Sussed it, the dust bunnies, you've been busy in the last few weeks from the looks of things :wink:

Look better up close like this than when fighting them off the dinner plate, nice shots.

Nice, that first shot almost looks like a sweet.

Great shot, hope the dog gets some extra walks and treats for becoming your partner in crime ;)

Great set liking the spider shots :thumbup:

That is glutinous all that bee for itself, good shots

Good set.

thank you all
