    David,
    Those are absolutely amazing shots. Knowing how quick those little buggers are is a testament to your abilities.

    They jump faster than the eye can see!

    Very clear detail here.

    I was attempting to photograph one a couple of days ago. It was living in a masonry crack around a door frame and kept moving in an out of the crack. Even when outside, it was running around faster than I could focus.

    Eventually managed a couple of acceptable shots but nothing as good as these images.

    I am equally amazed. I have a hard enough time when these guys are still getting a shot as well done as these. Brilliant to actually get it catching a fly(?)

    Hi David,

    Stunning, I think these are the first I have seen with the fangs visible. Great capture especially to get the before and after, everything's just good about them.

    Thanks Geoff,as you say they are very difficult to shoot,i think that he was in between the flowers made him feel safe or the fact he was stalking gave me the slight advantage
