I spotted this guy in our sink.  At first it looked like an itty-bitty crab... until I got in close with the HS-10 & Raynox.  He's only about 1/16th of an inch (2mm) across.  These are uncropped and handheld.

Heck Gary, I'm not getting either image. I'll try logging out and back on.

 Now I got 'em. I've seen these before but can't remember what they are called. The pattern on his rump
is interesting. Puts me to mind of a Hobo S., but he's not one.
A little cleaning and cropping and the first one has the makings of a pretty good shot, don't you think?
DOF seems a little better to me on that one. I like bugs.  I guess it's the little boy in me.

How's this?  This is uncropped but this time, I used a rice bag as my stand and got right in his face.  Close enough for ya? heheheh

They are called "crab spiders" for the obvious reason.  Nice one.  The last image is just beautiful.

Gary I reiterate, stay with flowers and birds.....Bugs   ugggg

You are a brave man.  Kevin don't do spiders.

I'm with Judy - flowers and birds YES.  Bugs NO!

It's not like it was a 10" black widow.  Just a li'l guy...

Yeah, that's a good one Gary. The little guy looks to need a shave doesn't he?
The eyes are interesting too. And we sometimes wonder where they get their ideas for science fiction creatures.   

I will be sure to show your pictures to my 10 year old grandson. He LOVES bugs!!  With the naked eye, we would NEVER get the detail you have given us.

Thanks very much, Ruth!  Please let me know his reaction and comments.
