Some recent insects and spiders

[kyrontf]

Hi all! Here are a few shots I took over the last couple of weeks. C&C welcome.

1. A cute lacewing. I've never seen one of these around here before. Maybe Nothochrysa sp.?

2. A weevil of some sort I found indoors. Held up against the sky for the shot before being released outside. It wasted no time in getting to work - it immediately started nibbling on the leaf I put it on as can be seen just behind the snout.

3. Male Evarcha proszynskii I believe. Focus stacked from 5 shots.

4. Another male Evarcha proszynskii. Stacked from 3 shots.

5. A male wolf spider's face. Stacked from 3 shots. This is a heavy crop because the lighting did not work out as I'd intended.

Good work on the jumper shots, sir. Tis my favorite kind of spider to photograph and look at images of.

Holy Crap! These are awesome!
Stacked wolf is fantastic. I love it when they sit still for you.

They're my favorites too. They're so curious and fun to work with.

That's the first time I've had much luck getting a wolf spider to stay in one spot. Even he was running around all over the place. Luckily he stopped for a rest just long enough to line up and fire off those 3 shots.

Especially like the wolf spider and the aphid (holding it up for the background was good idea and the blue with the aphid's coloration looks very good).

Personally, I'd never have mentioned the crop job on wolfie, it looks perfect, just as if it was intended
