The skills of the Powys County Times Camera Club are well-documented.
From the smallest petal on a flower to expansive shots of galaxies in the county's dark skies hotspots, our club members have demonstrated a skill for capturing all aspects of life in Powys.
Many members have also mastered the art of capturing the exquisite details on the tiniest creatures that are all around us.
Expand these beasties to human size and they'd be truly terrifying, but as they are, when posing for their close-ups with our wonder-snappers, they are a source of fascination.
Here we have six fabulous examples of close-up pictures of Powys' beasties taken by members of the Camera Club.

1) FEMALE ZEBRA JUMPING SPIDER BY JOHN WILLIAMS
Renowned for their agility, the zebra spider is so-called because of its distinctive black and white markings.
They can be found on walls, plants and fences, indoors on window sills, and are commonplace in Britain.
2) LITTLE OGRE FACED SPIDER BY CAND BOWIE PERKINS
Camera Club regular Cand Perkins regularly posts pictures of the animals with whom she shares her home.
In this case, she has photographed an ogre-faced spider - so called because, well, see for yourself.
They are not native to Britain, but are sometimes kept as pets.
3) LLAN'DOD TOAD PATROL BY MEL EVANS
It's the time of year when a young toad's mind is focused on one thing, and one thing only.
These two lovebirds, sorry, lovetoads were captured crossing the road by Llandrindod lake which, presumably, will soon be filled with spawn and, eventually, tadpoles.
Mel's nine-year-old daughter helped these two across the road to safety, preserving and entire generation of warty amphibians.
4) BABY GECKO BY CAND BOWIE PERKINS
Another non-native captured by Cand Perkins, this gecko looks very happy basking under a sun lamp.
These lizards usually live in warmer climates.
5) RED KITE BY SORCHA LEWIS
Sorcha Lewis is one of the club's regular contributors - and very grateful we are too when she produces shots like this, from last year.
The juvenile red kite was grounded by wet weather, and was playing dead in a vacant hen run on her farm in the Elan Valley.
A bit of warmer weather dried out the waterlogged winged wonder after a few days, and he took off back to the skies.
6) 2MM ORB SPIDER BY JOHN WILLIAMS
Another photograph of a creature from another world by club member John.
You may not be used to seeing orb spiders up close like this, but you'll know their work - they are the tiny creatures responsible for the types of circular webs you'd see in a children's book... and often in your own garden.
7) MAY BUG BY SORCHA LEWIS
The may bug really does look like something from another world when viewed close up - but you're probably more familiar with it as something that occasionally crashes into the side of your head with a painful whack.
They can grow up to about three centimetres, and when viewed up close they truly are remarkable looking insects.
