Photography-spiders by Darren Chng

I came across Darren Chng's photography website here.

The photos of three spiders taken by him are so fabulous.  He has also included a short paragraph of how he took the picture of each insect.  Read his descriptions of the insect and can you tell what are the adjectives he used to describe the insect/photo?

I've inserted the photos here in case the website page is no longer available.  

I encourage you to visit  Nature Photo Society because there are other insects and nature taken by him and other photographers.  You will be amazed by the beauty of nature and the fantastic skills of these photographers.
