Face shot 🕷️

Single shot of my Stegodyphus lineatus/ white lined ladybird spider.

This is a call to all my photography viewers, lets talk OM Systems/Olympus, thinking of taking the plunge and getting myself some new gear and switching from canon to an OM Systems camera for macros. What has been your experience? Please pm me or let me know down in the comments.

Hey everyone,

I hope you had a great easter,

Heres a picture of one of my latest additions, Stegodyphus lineatus or more commonly known as The lined ladybird spider.

A great addition to the collection,
Just a quick update on things to come.

As some of you saw i have 2 new scorpions. 5 new ladybird spiders but only 2 different species. Also a new project something i have wanted to do for a long time. I have a colony of pheidole noda or more commonly know as the big headed ants.
