Ok - I still need to process all of the other photos in this set, but I just couldn't wait to share these, so I uploaded these two specifically to post early...

The one above is at 1:1 magnification, and unfortunately I don't seem to have a photo of the mother spider. The one below is at 2:1 (twice life size) magnification, and are the offspring of this previously posted female.

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro, 1/250 sec at f/16. Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX in ETTL mode. ISO 100. RAW processing in Adobe Camera Raw.

I still think they're a little under-developed to be released just yet (I have larger magnification of both, and I don't think their eyes are quite ready. They seem to want to stay in the web, so I've brought them back inside for now and will keep a close eye on them and will release them soon (hopefully with some more photos). Regardless, I have some others from this set that I will share soon.
