The spider has certainly got tight hold of the fly!

@countrylassie Thanks, Lesley. They are relatively easy to photograph too.

[Jesika]

@shepherdmanswife I think the fly said something slightly stronger! LOL

@koalagardens The reversed lens is hard to manage with my less than steady hands but when it works the detail is indeed worth the effort

Great reverse lens image Jesika :)

@madeinnl Do you think it proves insanity when I reverse a lens instead of using a much easier macro lens?

Lovely ...

[Jesika]

@pdulis Thanks, Peter. I think the spider would agree with you but not the fly!
