The only reaction I get is that my head starts itching for some reason. Otherwise, it's a nice capture. Good focus and lighting.

My question is... Where did you get your specimen?

Taken with the Sigma 105mm. Not exactly a "macro" shot per se but big on the blech factor. |

I took this one with my 90mm with a 2x tele convert.

This one...
Isn't at all disturbing or gross to me, but I suspect it is to many, LOL. One of these days I really need to re-process this shot, it could be done much better... |

Not a bug, but definitely still a little close for comfort.

Another golden orb weaver. Big guys, but cute, in a way. But not very macro.

Okay, I'm still waiting for one that doesn't make me say, "Oh COOOL!"
