Hi all. It's been a while since I posted so hopefully I'll still remember how to do it
This is a Misumena vatia preparing to move to other hunting grounds.

Thanks for looking!

Hi William!

Excellent composition, dof and details.
Wonderful colors as always.
I love color contrast between spider, flower and bg.
I really missed your macro photos.

MMM, I see the Macro Wizzard returns with another cracking shot!!
The purple looks so nice against the lime green bg which is also complimenting the colours of the spiders back, true magic William!
Great to see you back btw, hope your ok and ready to treat us to another years worth of fine images
