Here are some of my favorite works of late. Thanks for stopping by :)

A new jumping spider I have not seen before. It was hunting on some low vegetation (background and foreground are dead leaves in this case):

A planthopper nymph trying to look invisible on a dead leaf. This is a 3-shot stack, handheld:

A lavender flower with a tiny leafhopper hiding in a leaf. This is a natural-light stack of a few shots (can't remember how many):

My first snakefly!

Same snakefly from a bit closer, only this time with a flash:

30-shot natural-light focus stack of a fly from the Pipunculidae family. The stack is incomplete, but although that fact is bothersome, I still think it works okay.

Very nice pictures and stacks, the last one looks perfectly fine to me!
Were these taken by a 180mm macro? the BG looks very nice.

Were these taken by a 180mm macro? the BG looks very nice.

The third and fourth shots were taken with the 180mm and natural light. I find that the MP-E can create beautiful backgrounds as well, but only at higher magnifications and wider apertures. For example, the shots from the big-headed fly stack are at 3.7x and f/5.0. If I had done the same stack at 2.0x and f/11, the background would have been much less smooth.

An incredible series! But I can't believe you stopped at only 30 shots on that last one! :):)
