iMacro: The Insecticons

True Bug
After looking carefully, I noticed that some feet of this bug is gone or cut off. I didn't noticed that during my photo session, only just after the shoot and I'm checking the photos to my computer.

Wide Jawed Jumping Spider
I saw this male wide jawed spider looking backwards, I approached slowly, positioned my camera and waited for it to look into my lens. Its busy stalking for prey and wasn't bothered by my presence.

Paper wasp
This paper wasp was seen grooming its nest. It was called paper wasp because it gather fibers from dead wood and plant stems, which they mix with saliva, and use to construct water-resistant nests made of gray or brown papery material. Paper wasps are also sometimes called umbrella wasps, due to the distinctive design of their nests.

i think these are amazing, i really admire macro photography but cant afford to start spending loads of money on lenses and flashguns so its really nice to see such good images using a filter, i think i need to invest in some and start spending days,months getting something half decent. the eyes on the bowfly are incredible.
