Yes
Just getting into some macro work again...surprising how much was forgotten since the last season...knees still stinging from nettles :)

Impossible to get their spindly legs into focus so just a body shot.
Canon 5D III with Canon 100mm f/2.8 L IS + 1.4XTC + 25mm Extension tube. Diffused flash. 5 image stack.

Lovely shot its a shame its lost three legs
 
I noticed that as well, think they can grow them back if I am not mistaken (probably am).

I was told spiders can grow legs back but Harvestmen cannot and they cannot survive with the front ones for a reason a I cannot remember.
 
Great shot Stuart, with some fine detail.(y)

George.
 
Excellent stuart... from stacking you have pulled out great detail what aperture did you use?

:D
 
Thanks everyone!

That is stunning, from that angle it looks like an octopus!!
Looking at it again, yes it does!

Correct, told you I was probably wrong...

These were at f/8 each...not ideal but I am practising to get a narrower DOF but more images to stack...not an easy task.
