Thanks a ton for the honor, Rik!

Thanks much, sumguy01, Mark and Jskory
Glad you guys liked the set!

Mark - I agree, it does provide great subject isolation

Love the level of great information - one can't help fall in love with their amazing teamwork and strategy!
Brilliant and enjoyable set..keep em coming

Thank you Jskory, Sippyjug, banerjeesaby and Pete!

banerjeesaby - I love this lens. Such as well thought out and engineered lens. Most of my images are at ISO 200 (to keep the noise in check), 1/160, f8-10 depending on distance to subject/magnification. All the images are single shots

The density of arthropods has reduced, but they're still to be found. Lucky and blessed to be living in this highly biodiverse part of the world :) 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50879590448_2e33a90474_b.jpg Gastercantha geminata AKA Spiny orb weaver One[/url], on Flickr 2. https://live.stat...

Gorgeous set of these delicate hunters!
The one with the mating pair stuck in the web is wondrous

Tastefully done and presented!
Love the environmental portraits showcased

Very cool DIY and results!
Love the perspective on the Isopod

Thank you, Mark and Sumguy!

Mark - got lucky to get this single nymph on the pod

With no morning meetings, its a lil' easier to sneak out for a couple of hours. A few more :D 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50724876798_f0b7154ec2_b.jpg Nezara sp Southern green stink bug 2. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50725610181_c87c4c680e_b.jpg Barklice 3. https://live.staticflic...
