Very nice! The first is very cool. I've never seen anything like it. Size?

About 1/2" with legs stretched out like that. It's a gorgeous green colour but unfortunately, because of where the web was, I could only get a shot of the underside. Really wish I could have got a top side shot because it was a stunning colour. I'll check back today to see if he moved into a better position.

Brent,
Are the arcs by the back leg part of the web? They almost look like hairs. I like the fly the best. The colors are nice.

Thanks. Just started on my macro adventure about a month ago. So still playing around with techniques.
Currently using my flash with a small soft box. Saving up cash to get the Olympus equivalent of the R1C1 you are using.
Also just got in my Raynox DCR-250 and really looking forward to testing it out on my lens.

Brent, I have the Raynox DCR-250 too but haven't tried it yet. I just ordered a dual arm flexible flash bracked to hold the two small SB-R200's at a lot more angles than I can now. As you had mentioned I may get two small soft boxes for the SB-R200's. Hoping to eventually get similar results to yours. Keep up the great shooting.
