Taken a half mile east of the abandoned school on True Road, at the corner with Terrell Road. We had been cruising east and west along True Road just before sunset hoping to encounter male tarantulas prowling around looking for females, but were unsuccessful in our quest. Stopping to check out a small dark scraggly object in the weeds along the edge of the road (disappointed, just a tarantula sized wad of wire), while getting back in the Jeep we heard feral hogs moving through the thick brambles about 50 yards away. A short walk off the road, avoiding thorns and a wet area yielded nothing, just a bunch of spooked hogs bolting for thick cover because we weren't quiet enough. While returning to the jeep we encountered several Green Lynx Spiders in weeds at the edge of the road, not Tarantulas... but satisfactory substitutes. Although not sitting on a colorful blossom, this little lady was in a position where I could get down on my knees and shoot straight in, putting her against a dark background for this "looking through the legs" shot.

Had to turn on my archives to look for some old photos so I pulled this bluebonnet shot out for some variety.

Taken on one of our photo shoots along Wells East Road between Newcastle and Proffitt, here's a gravid Green Lynx Spider preparing an area to lay eggs. Being lurkers / pouncers that prefer to ambush prey, these spiders spin silk to construct safe secure places upon which to anchor an egg case. Here the spider is stuffed full of eggs... VERY fat, and will eventually lay eggs then wrap them in a messy brownish covering that blends in well with its surroundings. The camouflage is very good, to the point where it's unnoticed until after the female guarding the case is discovered.
This is a center crop of an anamorphic image taken with a Nikon D60, Nikkor-H 85mm f1.8 lens (focused at infinity),, with an Iscorama anamorphic lens (1968 version) on the 85mm, and a Sigma 1.6x close-up lens on the Isco. Lighting was provided by a Nikon SB20 Speedlight shot through a lens-mounted diffuser made from part of a bowl that comes in a Healthy Choice frozen dinner.

Another beauty from the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas. Although we never found our target birds here, we found lots of good arthropods.
The Green Lynx spider is not deadly to humans, if bitten their will be a local pain to the bite with redness and itching.
