Hi Szymon,

what kind of camera/lens/flash have you used?

BR,

Thank you! Now I know what I'm up against. I searched for five hours in the jungle today and found no trapdoor spiders. I did find a lot of mosquitoes and flies, though.. :(

Those were shot with Canon EOS 400D + Tamron DiMacro 90mm + Delta Ring Macro Flash (though I'm not happy with it).

MaartenSFS - I'm happy to help ;)
