“I am the unseen. For centuries I have been here, beneath this great city, this metropolis. I know your language. I know all languages. . . . My cave is broad and cool. The sun cannot send its heat down here. The damp soil is rich and fragrant. I turn softly on my back and place my eight legs to the cave ceiling. Then, I listen. I am the spider. I see sound. I feel taste. I hear touch. I spin this story. This is the story I’ve spun.”
― Nnedi Okorafor, Lagoon
This I think so far is my best macro of a spider yet. This brave little spider and he/she was tiny as you can see the fibers of the carpet made a brave attempt at charging me, waving its front legs up hoping to scare me off. Doing macro has given me a whole new respect for these tiny creatures.
