Well taken shot of a Ant-Mimicking Jumping Spider!

The ant-mimicking jumping spider's head looks like it doesn't belong to its body.

I like all the JS shots! Very sharp on the eyes and nicely exposed.

Beauty! #17 is just great. I love how the spider & the red petals? blend into the picture. A very nice shot. Although i take only butterflies macro, but i still love what i see when it's pleasing to the eye, & you did well here.

You might want to clone off the whitish stuff on the top left which is quite distracting but that's digital & nothing got to do with photographing a wonderful shot of the spider.

Cheers!

Nice macro images, the color a bit fade not my liking, D90 should give must attractive colors.
