Spider
Found this spider playing in our shower. I have no idea the species but I figured I should shoot em.
Sow Bug/Woodlouse/Pill Bug/Roly Poly
Noticed a sow bug on the ground while I was working in the yard… So I shot em. I can’t tell you how difficult this is. The front element of my lens (M-PE 65mm) is so close and every time it moves, I have to shift the tray then refocus. It’s a pain in the …

Mosquito
Almost in the place as the spider from 7/16. Sorry I do love shooting bugs.
