This "itsy bitsy" (3.2mm long including legs) Ground Crab Spider was taken with a total 315mm bellows extension of a PB-6 (plus a 27.5mm PK-13 extension tube) with a 50mm f1.4 AIS Nikkor mounted reversed for a total of 6.4x magnification on the sensor. The arrangement of the eyes almost make a comical expression on its "face"! It took 24 images focus stacked in PS to get the entire spider sharp.
