Stunning shots DT, that spider relies on the forward facing eyes for sure. I bet nothing gets past him unnoticed.

Truly magnificent images!

Exactly what would a kill have been? it looks more like it would eat smaller rodents :)

Could you possibly post a 100% crop of the eyes from the last one, so we can get a better view of the reflections?

your home made diffusers have done a great job - I had to laugh when I read your description of them - 'I know it look like crap' - if only Canon was as frank!

Well it was on a pumpkin plant, so I think it was waiting to catch bees as they came out of the flowers. Many of them get covered in pollen and can't see very well.

Here is the crop of the eye section:
