Found this female scorpionfly resting in a broad leaf. Usually, it's too skittish to get close. This played ball for a little while, managed to get this without anything to stabilise myself on which I am pretty chuffed at, stacked image of 42 shots.

Previously, I posted a single shot of this amazing looking spider as I couldn't get any of the stacks to work, gave them another go, and managed to pull this 15-shot helicon stack together. A better angle than the last, though not perfect. I like this alot, hope you do too.
