Nice selection with differing backgrounds and approaches. Educational too.
Not that it matters but I prefer the darker ones, and least like the white ones, it can be difficult to get “white” to look good.
i did get some fake backgrounds recently but so far only managed to use 1. I still get too wrapped up in the subject to think about the surroundings. Guess that’s a resolution for new year…

And the new year is progressing...personally I am in my second year and hope to be ready in spring, with a better diffuser and I will try to up my game. But backgrounds, yeah it absolutely matters. Quiet background, color harmony. Like you I am sometimes to involved in getting the insect perfect and leave the rest sort of to luck.
I think these fake background are more for studio guys, you know, these types who seem to have pet spiders that they can place anywhere they like at will.

Hah, I’ve watched those too, but I prefer real ones… that said I’ve a small spider living in one of my orchids, I’m hoping it’ll change colour to match when the buds open
