Hi

Terrific macro shots.
Try as I might I can never get these macro shots like you guys here can.
But you must watch your white balance setting.

Adam, the caterpillar does not have eyes on its back.

Its not in motion when I took the shot.

Thank you for stopping by. The lens was resting on bark of a tree for stability. Hence, a better, sharper shot. The white balance was tweaked using piccassa software, .....

I need to learn on processing

Thank You, Rupert.

If you could post some JS(jumping spider) from our part of the world, would be nice.
