Thanks Mandy! These were taken before I got my SX40. I was using a Sony A65 with a reversed 18-55mm kit lens at the time (and still do for some genitalia shots). The dorsal and other not-so-close-ups were done with my Tamron 90mm macro if I remember, because the spider was way too big to fit in the frame of the reversed lens!

Neat, thanks Kyron! I want to get a new camera soon (just using a little point-n-shoot right now), so I like finding out what others are using, especially with the super-macro shots. There are so many camera choices, it's kind of intimidating! I guess a big part of making great images has to do with the photographer, though; not just the equipment. You definitely know what you're doing! Love your work. :-)
