Pholcidae or more commonly known as a "Daddy Long Legs"
Macro X 5 magnification using Canon MPE 65mm. Lit using a LED light panel below and two small led hand battery powered lights from left and right. The LED panel below sat below a large Perspex blue panel to create the coloured background.
One of the most exciting aspects of macro and extreme macro of this type at around 5 times life size (on the sensor) is that you are able to view a world typically unseen by the human eye. The next time you see one of these little insects floating across the wet grass in September & October have a look at their head and you will see just how small the detail you can see in this image.
