Re: First attempt at Macro...
Focus on the eyes are good, and thats a very impt element in a good macro.
The flash is rather harsh and is casting strong shadows which tends to mask the details. The whites on the Black-and-White Spiny Spider is blown, so again watch the flash. ID wise: #1: Blowfly #2:Jumping Spider (dunno which type of JS) #3:Black-and-White Spiny Spider #4: Not too sure: could be a cotton stainer bug?
