I didn't think Crab spiders caught things this large.

Fantastic shot of 2 of my most hated things. What settings did you use Dai to get such a great photo?

 

[Chris Wormwell]

Outrageous Dai, I'm soooo jealous - I've never even seen a Crab Spider let alone got a killer photo like this.

 

[DaiTheDragon]

Your comments are appreciated. Barbars the gear and setting were 50D, Sigma 180mm Macro, 580EXll Flash camera mounted. 1/250sec, f11, ISO 100

Hi Dai, I usually use D80, Sigma 105mm macro, SB600 speedlite camera mounted, f11,ISO 100 but have never managed to get anything that spectacular. It's a superb photo.

[DaiTheDragon]

Thanks both very much.
