A few non-insect macro shots

I haven't been doing much with insects/arachnids lately, so I thought I would post a couple recent non-insect shots. If you want to see them bigger, I have 1000 pixel versions on Flickr if you click the picture.

This is a daisy from the backyard. I'm not sure what the exact magnification is, but it's greater than 1:1 and less than 2.5x.

A great collection. I especially like the quality of the jack shots, good light and brokeh, and the crab spider and weevil are also great.

Excellent series of captures.

Thanks Bas and annubis. By the way, in case it's not obvious, the bokeh in the first jack shot is the headphones that come with the jack.

Very nice diversion ... 3 and 4 are my favorites ... 4 most especially ... although seeing a gravid White-Banded Crab Spider always makes my day

Cheers,

Jack

That first flower makes me think of a jack in the box. The crab spider is my favorite though.

Thanks, guys. And John (or should I say Jack? ), thanks for the ID! I was thrilled when I found that spider, but I had no idea what it was. I imagine they aren't that common in Los Angeles, because I haven't seen one before or since. It is by far the most colorful spider I have seen in the area. Everything else is tiny and brown--a far cry from the swamps of Florida.

Lovely varied series, Like the weevil best though

Thanks, Brian. That weevil was an interesting one, because I thought it was dead while I was shooting it, but while I was reviewing the shots in the viewfinder, it walked away like everything was fine. I wish all insects would remain that frozen during the shots!

lovely shots, love the last shot
