There's a song by Mike and the Mechanics of the same title:

Sorry I can't make you a link. They changed the programming language when they updated the website, and I haven't learned how to do it yet. You'll have to copy/paste if you want to listen to it.
Another thing that went away is EXIF data. I didn't use any postwork to get the dof, so thought some of you might like to see the settings I used. It was a huge challenge to get this shot! Finding the spider in mid-air and focusing on it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done, so I thought I'd show off a little bit. :P
If the data doesn't mean anything to you, don't worry. It's only there in case you care. :)
And yes, I know this isn't an insect, but there isn't a genre category for arachnids.

Most original:) I was wondering what you were doing when you were trying to focus on this little guy. Like it.
The information is appreciated. Anything to get the shot. In this case all your efforts were well worth it.
Nice to see this on the web !!
Thanks for reminding me about categories Tara.
WOW! This is awesome :) I cant do it with my point and shoot. :-)
way cool !!! the spider realy stands out
Brilliant!
I liked all that info. And,I can't figure out the new link language, let me know if you do!
Nicely done! It's become that scary time of year when these guys are lurking everywhere; I walked into one yesterday and did the spider web dance for quite a while after!
Oh, Tara! What have you done? I thought I had gotten a spider inside my monitor and tried to get rid of it. Squishing it inside my monitor isn't the best way, so how about bug spray? Computer doesn't like. So, I read your text.
AHA! Problem solved. Scroll down page and send Tara a funny comment instead! This is just SO COOL. Great idea (April's Fool after April!).
Keep up the good work!
:-)
Very creative idea & you pulled it off perfectly...
wonderful
Very cool capture.
Well done, Tara! I did that with a little worm hanging down from a tree once, not easy to do. When they first made the changes, I saw some EXIF data to the right of posted images, now I don't see them at all anymore. Too bad, I liked that feature.
I like this website! very cool find Tara!
Fabulous capture
