Seems you trying to get to close to the spiders. Take a picture with a greater distance between the lens and the subject - then you can crop the picture in Photoshop or other graphic software. Do not use the zoom, it messes with the resolution on the picture.
After that its trial and error, see what light you get the best result. Offcourse natural light is always best (my opinion).

If you like, but not to the extend where it looks unnatural. A little sharpen and contrast but not much more then that.

it's not like one of them Otech things they sell on e-bay is it?

it's not the amount of pixels you have, it's how the light reaches them and what you do with them that counts.

IMO always buy a brand known in the photography world:
Nikon, Fuji, Kodak, Olympus etc (Sony are pretty good though)

The brands like Mustek, Microtech and other 'cheap' brands use 2nd grade optics, so no matter how many receptors are on the ccd the light reaching them is distorted.

Also, it looks as though you are getting camera shake, take the pictures in brighter light, that way the shutter speed will drop and there will be less chance of blurring.

And check the focus range when in macro, most 'cheap' camera's are around 10", again, make sure pictures are taken in bright natural lighting
@ 10mp you'll have plenty of 'cropping' to play with, all you have to do is find the macro focus point

I bet you could find a manual or tips if you do a search...

If it's taking great pics of everything else, it most likely just needs tweaking of settings and of your method of snapping pics. Trial and error...trial and error.

I would suggest picking up a book on basic photography. There is more to good photography than simply pointing a camera and shooting. How the camera is setup (aperature setting, ISO setting, shutter speed, etc.) affects the shot significantly.
