Wonderful captures - esp like the ambush bug shots- looks like it's creeping up behind a victim.

A few years ago I thought gloubular springtails and ambush bugs were photoshop creations, they look so unreal.

Lovely set and theme, although I am told my wife is top of the food chain....

wow, strange looking bugs!

#1 is great
#2,3 can't decide which one I prefer... perhaps #2 looks a tiny more sharp!
#4,5 prefer #5, composition and DOF spot on!

Your robbers are exquisite, my dear! Splendid shots and your comp and light are smooth and most pleasing on all.
