lovely set! Very nice!

Also want to say that your Tropical Spider set (in your sig) has some of the most beautiful spiders, and spider photography I have ever seen! Unbelievable diversity!

Thanks, Charlie, BT. Much appreciated.

Nice shots but they would better with a coating of DDT.

Great shots, beautiful insects! I especially like the first one.

Just super stuff, as always. You REALLY have a knack for illustrative insect macro shots. I always get a good, clear "look" at these tiny little critters when I open one of your posts.

The ball and socket joint where the neck joins the thorax is fascinating! Great shots as ever.

I also had a look at you blog. The Spiny Orb Weaver with the long "tails" is stunning. I've never seen one like that before.
