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.
Why do these spiders always look like they have just had a telling off ! ( "But it wasnt me...honest !" )
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?
This beautiful spider was hanging out in the wood pile. Couldn't quite believe her size, biggest I've ever seen at home! Approx 50mm (~2 inches) long. I’m always so fascinated by spiders, they really are remarkable.
Spiders seem quite willing to wait patiently for any fly-by lunch, so they tend to remain motionless while I move close enough to capture my images. I liked how the strands of the web almost disappear.

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

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.

OK, I know its the third outing for this little lady, however, in my defence they have all been separate shots, rather than reworkings of the same shot.
Anyway, thought I'd go for a bit of mono for a change with this one.
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.

Though I don't have a large variety of spiders this year, I do have a few of the ones I did get.

Thanks for Viewing.
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.
