Tiny little fella and I don't know why it's white.

Yeap that's a beautiful flower and spider.

As for taking that photo, I would stop down or use shorter shutter speed and use flash as fill light.

Thanks guys!! :D It is a Camponotus carpenter ant, minor worker actually. The gaster is well distended like that most likely due to it being filled with something liquid it consumed. Although there is a slight chance the ant has a parasitic worm infection. Oh that's not a good news. Carpenter ants a...

I don't know what sort of ant this is. I always see it on a tree all by itself. I don't think there's a colony.

Thanks for looking!!

Crisp and clean with great lighting!! This would look great in those anatomy books!!

Is it just me or do some of those teeth looks like shark teeth?

The green stripe on the crab spider is a bit unusual for me, never seen one like that. Love the pattern and colours in the first one.

Very nice lighting with barely noticeable halo artifact from focus stacking. A small critique if I may. There seems to be banding in the background. I would suggest using a little blur tool in photoshop if the banding is actually artifact caused focus stacking. There's also some moire pattern in the...

Nice shots!! Have you spotted any great white off the coast? Where there's a prey...

It looks different and all but I fail to see the advantage of this method.

Could you please explain the advantage of this method over using a normal dslr with low ISO + flash?

Hahaha that second image is a hoot!! it's almost like a cartoon scene with 2 big eyes peeping out.

Ich liebe das passionsblume. One of the most elaborate flower I've seen.

I think that moth looks great and would look even better with some coloured lights.

I have a question, can you explain spp and sp? All wiki says is that spp is plural and sp is singular and the explanation of usage kinda lost on me.

I'm guessing it's a mouse in the snake's mouth in the second image. I really gotta try reptiles soon, they're just as fascinating as insects/arachnids.

Gotta love those background. They look like paintings

Thanks for looking guys!! :D Though an arachiphobe myself, I find that two tailed spider to be interesting, wonder what those two appendages are for? :-k Those 'appendages' are actually the spinnerets Ken. They use it to lay thick silk to entangle their prey. They don't make web or shelter though. F...
