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.
At only 3/4mm body length, it makes you wonder who these little mesh weavers are advertising to with such beautiful colours.
Why do these spiders always look like they have just had a telling off ! ( "But it wasnt me...honest !" )
I'm definitely not 100% on this ones name, so please feel free to correct me if you know better. HA!
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.

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...

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.
Like delicate lace,
So the threads intertwine,
Oh, gossamer web
Of wond'rous design

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.
