*SHUDDERS* I really don't think I should have looked at this thread so early in the morning. I'm awake now!

Those are AMAZING shots Kyle! As I'm not the bug expert around here.... in pic #4, are those the eyes of a tarantula? Or just what are those white areas?

Thanks for sharing!

Kyle,

Those are crazy! How did you take them????

[burmer]

Thats all kinds of freaky looking. Cool pics though.

[Shane Tesser]

Thats just creepy...lol, now ill never want to eat those again :O

Ya the last pic is of my Usumbara Tarantula shed (eyes). It is just a normal microscope. i couldn't sleep and was very bored, so i decided to try taking pics with my digi through the microscope. I took a while to get it right, but it finally worked. Beats buying those $5000 microscopes with a built in camara. It was only on 40 power. I am trying to get some neat pics using 1000 power, i want to get a close up of their hairs. I would also liek to try and get some close ups of gecko feet (suction things).

I'll post more when i find something interesting.

Kyle


P.S. you should see a crickets mouth, FREAKY!!!!!

[Tim and Julie B]

That is so cool! What a great idea Kyle! Look at an ant sometime. They are very weird up close!

[Emily-Fisher]

That is so amazingly wicked! And Shane, why stop eating them just because they have spikes? Crickets still taste mighty fine! LOL!

[Blackwidow69]

:cool: Awsome shots Kyle!!!! Try to get the pads on the tarantula foot.. wild wild pics man.. hehehehe!!!!!

[Kyle Barker]

Thanks. I tried to get the pads before but when i put on the cover slip it crushes it and and makes it impossible to ID.
I looked at an ant, holy crap are they freaky looking. No pics but i'll post some more this weekend.
