Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Nice captures, I especially like the detail in the beetle.
The spider in #1 looks a bit lost in the frame, where you afraid to get closer?   BTW, #3 - is that a white tail spider? I heard they can give really nasty bites... 
Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
Nice shots
The Beetle is my pick here followed by the last spider
No thats a little jumping spider. We get heaps of white tails and they look a quite different. Yes White Tails can give a nasty bite. 1 of my mates got a bite on the cheek. He had re-occuring blisters break out on his face for over 10 years. Nunquam requîrere a aptus occãsiõ ad claudere sûrsum
Thanks for the comments.
I probably should have put captions on them. For the first one, I tried to frame the leaf the spider was on. Perhaps that was a mistake. The second one is actually a stink bug (a type of shield bug). These are the nasty ones that eat bits of orange plants and spray you with really pungent liquid if you piss them off. As Biggzie says, the third one is a jumping spider. If you look carefully it has half an ant in its mouth. A white-tail spider looks like this: 
The fourth is a small Argiope sp. spider, probably a St. Andrew's Cross spider.
