Ben S<p>This is one of the ant mimic jumping spiders, but I'm not sure which. If you know, please share. I was trying a more versatile diffusion setup, but it wasn't amazing. The spider pictured here is under a fine sheet of web though so in general, I guess it was fine. I want diffusion that is attached to my flash heads again. It has its drawbacks, but it is just so handy.</p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/SalticidSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SalticidSunday</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/SriLanka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SriLanka</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spiders</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Arthropods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arthropods</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Salticidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Salticidae</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Myrmarachne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Myrmarachne</span></a></p>
