Lovely shot, but aren’t those ‘Hanging Thieves’ fairly large – like a couple of centimetres in body length? In my personal vocabulary, that’d be a mega-macro bug. But for iNat ID purposes, the mag and detail in the shot you show here would probably cover the detail range for stuff in the 1-2mm range (‘micro-macro’?).
The smallest insects? Dicopomorpha echmepterygis (a Fairy Fly) measures .139 millimetres in length. It’s actually invisible to the naked eye!
As I mentioned above, I use a Raynox-250 for macro and the closest I’ve gotten (handheld) is a frame width of about 2mm. Here’s a cellar spider closeup from that experiment:
The Raynox gave me about a 4-inch distance between the spider and the Raynox lens.
