Thanks TK. No extension tubes, just a 60mm macro lens and a bit of a crop in photoshop. I've added my spider to your mission. I have a few more to add later.

Great shots Dan -- do you use extension tubes to get the magnification? Please add to Jumping Spiders of Ontario: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/14692028

Thanks! Yeah, that is cool how you see colors broken down into little dots.

Great photos... I like the way the ingredient list it's standing on shows its scale. :)
