The second one is great, love the dew/rain drops caught in the web.

Especially the bottom left one, where you clearly see the inverted image.

Not sure what I don't like about the first shot, maybe it's just a little creepy.

I was eating my lunch when I saw these shots. I love the second one. Not sure I want to finish my lunch now though.

Can't quite make out what's in the inverted image of the bottom left drop. What is it Kerry?

Second shot is great.

The first I'm not really a fan of, maybe the DOF is a bit too narrow. The arch of the caterpiller looks in focus, but the feet and head just out?

Those water droplets Kerry are great.

Keep having fun in your Micro World.

Mic. :wink:
Have you ever seen the movie ( Honey I Shrunk The Kids ) :lol:

Thanks for the kind comments, guys. :D

JohnD: Sorry I spoiled your lunch... :( I don't remember exactly what the background was that makes up the inverted image in the drops... It was something simplistic and the shot came out better than I thought it would. :?

Pippin: Yeah, I think the DOF is too narrow and/or perhaps a little camera shake going on as well. It was a very difficult angle and position for me to get the shot. The angle could have moved the plane of focus through the worm. Add a little camera shake and voila. :lol:

Mic: Yup, am having fun with the macros. Haven't had many photo ops due to weather and work, so have to be content with what I can dredge up around the house. :)
