Good set, liking the feeding crab spider, your last maybe the sycamore aphid http://influentialpoints.com/Gallery/Periphyllus_aphids.htm about the closest I could find

Thanks for comments & thumbs
must've missed Brendas shot, I always keep thinking about the variety that she seems to get being down sarff (South)

Okay you guilted me into doing a bit of hunting about :oops: , not much about the Hentz in the UK, but this the walnut orb-weaver fits the bill http://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/walnut-orb-weaver to be fair the first of these I can recall seeing I see loads of the regular golden later in the year. But I will try to do better on the ID in the future, to be fair I have been a touch lazy on that, normally when something new I do try to find something on them.Although this spider is not in common coloring, I suspect that this is as Hentz's orbweaver

Ugly beastie, not sure on type but maybe part of the rove beetle group

My little princess was out in the garden today with the magnifying glass, not too successful even though it was warm, 'tis very windy day so everything seemed to be hiding somewhere where we couldn't them. She did however find a rather large orb weaver sunning itself and a tiny weevil, it was taken at 1:1 with 65mm tubes on and still cropped down to a quarter frame, the spider was a couple of shots, couldn't fit it in at 1:1 setting so took an overall shot of it also.
All taken at 1/125, f14, ISO100, flash 1/4 or 1/8 power

Thanks for the comments,Well done, I love the second - a very interesting view.
Pretty much the first time I have been able to head on properly with a fly, so was chuffed when this one sat quite for more than one shot.

Another super set, the cat snake doesn't look too impressed with you though, a braver man than I
