I took these yesterday. Figured I'd try the macro setting on the camera.

Great pix, but those things terrify me!

Nice. Did you hand hold that or tripod?

I like the shot where it's "looking at you."

I love those critters! I remember stepping on one as a kid (not on purpose) and for the longest time I would hide every time I saw a cop car, as I heard it was illegal to killl them!

Hand held. There were a few masonry workers poking it with tape measures so I picked it up and placed it on the lemon tree. I had a third shot but it's a little fuzzy.

I like the face shot also.
