I was in search of crab spiders and happened upon this ambush bug snacking on a fly. Like many other assassin bugs they inject a digestive enzyme into their prey to liquify their insides that they then drink up like a milkshake.

This little jumper came for quite a ride. My friends and I went trail riding and this guy was with me after our break. I made sure to drop him off at a perfect plant.

took the suggestions offered by people on this sub + some youtube research, applied of that what I still could to the images I had and got this result, with which I'm quite pleased

an epic fight between a wasp and a spider happened right on my lap until I sprang up and dumped them onto the couch on the roof top terrace. Now this is only the 3rd macro photo I ever took and I'm not 100% satisfied. I specifically look for feedback on how to get it to be completely sharp (I guess f/8 was still too wide open?) and whatever else specifically could make a difference towards a better image.
I'm not content with the angle for example; would have like to take the image more from the front but that wasn't possible as 30cm left of the wasp started the couch and I had to be quick before it flew away.
