Under the Lens: Yikes! House Spider Macro Photography for the Nikon Small World Photography Contest

Nikon Instruments holds an annual macro photography contest and has done so for the past 44 years. The 2018 Nikon Small World macro photography winners were announced on Instagram. The first-place winner was an image of the eye of an Asian red palm weevil. This beetle is native to the Philippines and is approximately 0.43 inches long. Yes, it's stunningly small. The photograph was captured by Yousef Al Habshi from Abu Dhabi.

According to him,"The main challenge was to show the black body against the black background without overexposing the skin and scales". I would say they look like jelly stacked on chocolate chips.
