At the beginning of last year's winter I was out in the garden with a 2x objective lens on and its 210mm of extension. It has a 17mm working distance. I'm just about to pull up that years Common Mullein weed when i thought what could be hidden in the remains of the huge leaves. Down in the junction of the leaf and stem where unmistakable eyes, but light was super low and all i could manage was an out of focus shot before it was off. Luckily they must have enjoyed their stay as I've recently seen youngsters running around. I recently saw an adult chewing the remains of meat of a flies wing whilst hiding in the teeth of an old timing belt which resides around the girth of the Chiminea. I took enough shots to workout it's a Zebra jumping spider, Salticus scenicus which is a lot smaller than yours. I have a 20mm ext ring on my 2:1 lens and it's still small in the frame. The babies are super fast runners and smaller than an Ant and so far my planning skills have failed. Hopefully if we ever get any global warming the Regal will move here.

I have a GORGEOUS Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens sling, but I can't see her modeling for me like your cute girl does !
