Exoskeleton

The spider in the second picture has molted and left behind the exoskeleton.

I've never seen a spider molt before 😲

I had a chance to catch the molting in progress and didn't know what it was all about. I had something to do and came back to take pictures after ~15-20 minutes, but the process was already over.😁
But I was lucky that the wind wasn't blowing and managed to capture 120 images for stacking.
For this image I only used 60 of it because it looks better partially out of focus.

After a few weeks when the leaves have yellowed.

Good one! I didn't know spiders did that, duh.

Every few years, lots of these appear around here in Texas.

Cicada

Impressive mini-monster!👍
This is a very good subject to be viewed in 3D.

Yes, I did that a while ago in G'MIC cross-eyed view ... feel free to play ...

Well spotted

We get them a lot in Australia too.

Reminds me of a crab.

In order to be visualized in S3D format, the subject must be photographed properly, from two different angles. 2D to 3D conversions do not offer the same quality/precision in volumetric rendering of the subject.

If you have a pair of images where the subject can be visualized in stereoscopic mode, it would be interesting to post them for everyone to see.👍

Let's do an experiment.

Can you visualize my image (the first one) of the exoskeleton in 3D using G'MIC cross-eyed view?

If you can, please post here the pair of images generated using G'MIC for cross-eyed view.😀

I'll have a go after rotating it 90 deg left.

Thanks!
So, let see how bad this 2D to 3D conversions can be in comparison with a properly captured pair of images for 3D.

Some advanced software for 2D to 3D conversions using AI can offer better results, but "the real thing" is always better.🙂

A new one.

after your post ,this happened the next day. rare to catch this at extreme macro magnifacations.

Spectacular pics!👍👍👍

Another one, with high magnification.
