Shot these two today. I don't think I've seen either one before, although I now look for and notice insects alot more since I got my macro lens. The spider was VERY shiny and I couldn't keep the flash from reflecting off of him. And no, the cricket isn't dead, although his legs look like it. He was licking something on my window. Any I.D. information would be appreciated.:)

Two great shots Tim.

Any chance I can borrow your 'window cleaning cricket' ? Should be better value than a window cleaner :D

Thanks, Bernie. I do, on occasion, loan the spider out, but my cricket, no way!;)
