Good work. How do you determine the sizes of the subjects?

They are approximate sizes

Thanks, interesting. I don't think my RF 100mm L records the magnification (even though it is shown in the viewfinder), but it does record the focus distance. I should be able to get m from that but it will be less accurate.

Fascinating studies!

Like the formation of this spiders eyes.

I got bit by a baby female Huntsman moving her yesterday. Seems the smaller they are the more defensive they can be, usually dont have trouble relocating them.

Was itchy and tingly for 15 minutes, but i didn't die.
