I like the second one. What post processing did you do with the first? It looks like the background has been blurred in PS or something. Dosn’t look like he’s really on the plant.

How did you persuade him to do that? :)

It seems as though he is walking on glass. Unsettling!
Keep ’em coming.

Thanks Pixelle,
The trick was squeezing the spider and holding the camera at the same time :lol:
