Some great shots in this thread.
Scott, I have to ask what lens you are using?
Here are a few I had in my photobucket that I will share.

I am using a Tamron 90mm Macro sometimes coupled with a Raynox DCR-250 lens, all this on my Nikon D800E.

Took a few more shots tonight, I am liking my current diffuser and speedlight combo as it allows much faster shutter speeds.

This was taken with just the 90mm Tamron and speedlight/diffuser.

This is one of the rare times I used auto focus as I was balancing on the A frame of my dogs kennel and was holding the camera with one hand while trying not to fall off. Froggy was out hunting.

This spider does not know colours apparently as it does not blend in. In saying that it was very dark and when focusing manually all I could make out were the stripes on its legs.

And here are some flies enjoying sleeping on my Aloe vera where the spider was hunting. I dare say they will be spider food.

I just picked up a Nikon D 5500 this week to use with a Micro Nikkor 85mm I received for Christmas.

I plan on picking up a 300mm prime as well, as I can see now that I'll need some stand off range when photographing critters.

I can't wait for the bugs to come out this year!

These are two test shots:

These three are with non-macro lenses from last summer:
