Default More Insect Macro's

Hello DPS family! Well I'm winding down on the Insect Macros from my Thailand trip, but I do have a few more to process, after that, it's going to be Orchids and Roses.

The Guardian (This Little Guy is about 1/2 inch long, He was fiercely defending this crysillus in the background)

Mr. Strange. (Probably one of the Strangest Spiders I've seen, I don't even want to know who he/she is eating in this pic. )

Another extremely interesting set Michael, I like them. I may even be warming to the spiders (a little) and I think the Canon EOS 7D is working rather well

Even though I know I am going to squirm, I just have to look at your creepy crawlies. Another terrific set of macro shots Michael.
