I like no 3 and no 9 best.

For no 6. I've never seen an ant mimicking spider with such a big mouth LOL.

Enjoyed your posts as usual.

Thanks! There are a few types of such mimicking JS, and this is just one of them....with super long jaws!

#10 is cute

Thanks! Not too sure if it would work.

you always seem to go home with a handful of great catch!!

the kidney spider looks quite cute..haha!

ha ha....thanks....but not always with high hit rate....sometimes can walk and walk and still see nothing.

awesome pics! that kidney spider must be about to lay eggs!

Thanks! Does a fat abodomen mean it would lay eggs?

#15: Weaver ant is the best for me

image is full of emotion

#10: Home is good as well but maybe a tighter crop

Ok noted, thanks!

Every time when I get tired of shooting Macro and I look at your picture, I am recharged ..thanks..very nice series.

Thanks for that LL!

very nice shoot. hope you can post more in future.

Thanks!

#12, 13, 14 should be a cactus fly... they seem to like feeding off fruit sap.

Thanks for the ID! This fly was taken off the walls of the shelters at the park.

Wow!! I'm speechless. Really need to learn more about macro from sifus like you. I like #16 and #9 the most. Especially #9!

Thanks!

chuan yean: i've been told that if the abdomen of a female looks like it's gonna burst, it's likely that it has buns in the oven.
