I think what looks like pupils might be reflection of the camera in the eyes of the spiders

I didn't think about it but that may just be.

Why do they look like minions in costumes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes! They do. With their little hairs on the head and big globulous eyes. But to me, they look like owls.

I'm a little confused. Doesn't macro mean big? Cute pics btw

I don't know but my phone call the setting to take close up detail in photo "macro"

The term photo-macrograph was proposed in 1899 by W. H. Walmsley for close-up images with less than 10 diameters magnification, to distinguish from true photo-micrographs.
