The new macro lens I ordered last week arrived yesterday and it was not long before I was scouring the landscape for interesting subjects. I spotted this spider on a mound of moss and patiently waited until it paused momentarily. When it did, I fired off several shots hoping at least one would be in focus, something very hard to achieve with a manual focus lens of this type. Fortunately, exactly one shot was acceptably sharp and to my great surprise, it showed the spider eating what appears to be a small ant. Click on the image for an enlarged image and then zoom in on that. Most spiders have 8 eyes in addition to 8 legs and they are quite unusual to see up close.
