De nombreuse tentatives ratées, mise au point, flou de bougé, vent, mauvaise luminosité ... Finalement une photo que je crois acceptable ... prise en focus stacking + pied + réflecteur + petite correction avec photoshop.
Female Phidippus clarus jumping spider eating a long-legged Dolichopodid fly.
Single exposure, hand held, diffused flash.
Notes: This common species is found across southern Canada and most of the United States except the desert Southwest. This spider is found in old fields, prairies, agricultural crops, and other low herbaceous vegetation. The female constructs a conspicuous white retreat and egg case near the tops of plants (Edwards 2004). Female TBL 8-10 mm.
I'm definitely not 100% on this ones name, so please feel free to correct me if you know better. HA!
At only 3/4mm body length, it makes you wonder who these little mesh weavers are advertising to with such beautiful colours.
People say that hugging therapy is definitely a powerful way of healing. Research shows that hugging (and also laughter) is extremely effective at healing sickness, disease, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress. I might be one of the only people I know who see this spider and immediately think, 'It wants a hug!' Are you willing?

Black widows are the most venomous spider in North America. Their venom is about 15 times stronger than rattlesnake venom.

Not sure of what type of spider this is....I thought it picked some pretty colors to hang out in though : ))
Hope everyone enjoys the first day of Autumn !!

Looking around the garden this morning I was surprised and mystified when I saw this fly hanging off the front of a salvia flower. When I moved around behind the flower I saw the reason. Damn, these little crab spiders are amazing predators...
what is life but a collection of moments
here is one
Will be back later, thank you for your indulgence
:~)
Texture: unknown
As spiders (order Araneae), the black widows are predatory animals with two body segments, eight legs, no chewing mouth parts, and no wings. As is characteristic of all arthropods, black widow spiders have a hard exoskeleton composed of chitin and protein.

I still remember this photographic moment. Wandering through my flower garden on a warm day, I noticed movement in some dried fronds of sword ferns. Then I was filled with happiness when I realized I was seeing baby spiders scurrying around. Eventually I discovered that these were Araneus (European garden spider or crowned orb weaver). I'm just pleased that I had this close encounter.
Baby crowned orb weaver spiders travel in the most interesting way. Do check out this link for more information...

No flying insects stuck in this orb-weaving spider's home but some blossoms from a nearby blue vervain plant adds some nice curb appeal. Photographed in the La Crosse River Marsh.

So the threads intertwine,
Oh, gossamer web
Of wond'rous design

I was in two minds whether to post this, I wasn't entirely happy with it but then sometimes it's good to post and then look back later on. This is a male of the Orb Weaver species. This was on a walkabout by the canal on Kaiserin Augusta Allee in Berlin, it was a nightmare trying to get the focus when using only a kit lens and this little guy was running up a thread at quite the speed.
Let me be open to criticism so please do provide feedback should you wish, more than welcome to it and that applies to every photo.
Anyways, final weekend before Crimbo, I hope everyone has a good and so as always, thank you! :)
PS> Oh and the name, this photo reminded me of that god awful movie series of Twilight when Charlie Boy shimmers and twinkles in the Sun for godsakes, urgh, so yea, sorry lads for the reference :o)
Don't know which jumping spider. It was very small, maybe 5 mm or 0.2". I was sitting in the garden working on an interesting mushroom that had popped up when a bit of motion on a nearby leaf caught my eye. No way I would have seen it if I hadn't been sitting there in the dirt. Serendipity...
[Note: in spite of "did not fire" - I certainly did have the flash here. This shot would have been impossible, or at least much more difficult, without it]
The dorsal vew of a Furrow orbweavers (Larinioides cornutus). They hide during daylight in a rolled up leaf, and then makes a new web in the late day. That is where this lady sits, waiting for dinner delivery to arrive.
