Nice ones. Did you spray the webs as you mentioned to someone, or was it dew or rain? (The spider being all wet on the other one is fun :)
It's funny how camera gets the stuff just before and behind the focus point purple and green respecively because of the sensor layers... Which is much more noticeable on longer-focus lenses -- the one definite advantage dedicated macro lenses have over them. The other isn't so definite because ability to shoot from extreme close up is useful in one cases, not so in others, like with cautious critters.
On a side note, human eye is built similarly, with red and green bulbs located in different layers. It is used in automated ophtalmoscopes to precisely determine visual acuity and the lenses it needs for correction.

Noooo, that's doooo, morning doooo! *lol* Couldn't do that with a squirt-bottle, too heavy!
Re: sensors. Interesting! New knowledge, thank you for it. Yah, as you noticed on the settings I'm using the macro setting on that 70-300mm lens. It's good for hitting subjects from a distance, very useful, in this setting of long tall grass and bush you can't get close to something like this without disturbing it.

There are squirt bottles which spray a very fine mist, so it's a possibility, too. Of course, you'll have to get pretty damn close or use the wind for it to get over anything :)
As for "macro setting" -- do you mean just the telephoto end, or does your lens have some actual macro setting? (As people often use several of the terms pretty loosely -- even camera manufacturers -- like, some of the booklets I got with my camera speak of lens's zoom related to "actual size" -- which appears to be a pure nonsense).
