Very sharp and colorful. Another great shot using the MP-E65mm. Did you also use the twin-lite?

Thanks Leo, Zero, & Ron! Yes, I used the MT-24EX twin light. That flash is just great for macro!

I wonder if those are eyes, too. They look like what a spider would have.

About those eyes, I believe they were mentioned in here before, something about being there to sense motion around a wider peripheral I think. ;)
