Cool Spiders! There are so many interesting evolutionary specializations in the spider world... the Bolas is one of the strangest ones. Great shots, as always! Your photos make me want to come to Malaysia... so many different macro subjects! Wild!

Great photos! Are you using flash or natural light?
