This does not take too much practice. I have chased both hunting spiders
(not the sedentary net-builders) and grasshoppers with macro gear and
flash on a handheld OM-1, and I have the pictures to prove that it works.
Admittedly, I also do have a few nice pictures of places where a 'hopper
sat two milliseconds ago, including one where you see the hind legs in
one corner ;-)
