A Tube Web Spider. Great macro subjects, as they seem to pose for you! First real test of my new Sigma 50mm prime macro. Lit only with a small torch (in an otherwise pitch black cellar). Tube web spiders are actually originally native to the Mediterranean, but have spread throughout western Europe as the temperature has risen in recent times. They are one of the few spiders in the British Isles that can pack a bite thats strong enough to hurt a human.

Zebra spider (about 7mm long) taken with a reverse mounted Kinotel 8mm movie camera lens on a short extension tube.
Mini-spider on my Nephew's ear. Told him I was taking a picture of his hair. No tears that at least.
First created a shadow to protect it from the harsh sunlight, then brought back the light with a DVD-cover wrapped with aluminium foil. Not the sharpest one nor the best focus selection but I personally love the light.
