These are the eyes of the net casting spider in our garden. In order to cast its net at night, the spider has enormous forward-facing eyes.
Getting towards the end of the year. Was warm this weekend and I am trying to get out as much as possible before it gets too cold. Almost walked right past this one blended right in with the tree. Was jumping all over the place.
I have never realy tried macro shots on this scale before. I set the camera manulaly as the auto settings were giving too long a shutter speed then used a flash to add light so it would not be underexposed. I found this spider in my garden protecting his lunch and have no idea what type it is.
At first I thought this was a speck of dust...then it began to move!! A spider that is almost invisible to the human eye!

A tiny (2-3mm) translucent spiderling found on decomposing bark on the forest floor. It was missing one leg at the time, though spiders can regenerate lost limbs through successive molts.
oh it's nothing...just a little scratch.
Thanks Erick! (My brother in law was kind enough to bring me the biggest, most disgusting wolf spider I have EVER seen...more pics to follow)
Wolf Spiders are pretty much everything that bothers me about spiders wrapped into one package. They are big, fast, unpredictable, and utterly alien.
Being near one makes me nauseous but also thankful that I'm not Australian or something.
Had an amazing day out doing macro photography today. Probably the highlight was this beautiful male Euophrys frontalis jumping spider. He's doing his full display here. As he's only about 3-4mm long and very fast I was really made up to get this shot. Not sure I've ever seen another shot of one of these doing this?
Dew drops make it difficult to focus stack.

I found this spider in the garden shed. The picture was created from a focus stack of 75 photos taken with a Schneider f2.8 40mm APO lens reverse mounted and using a flash.
we got some cheap macro lenses a few weeks ago that i'm pretty satisfied with (considering this spider is actually like, the size of a speck of dust).
The spider who owned this web really didn't appreciate the way I kept accidentally knocking the branches their web was connected to, so they ran and hid... but he/she made something beautiful, so I couldn't resist!
A little stream, drawn by the magnets of air and light,
And flowing like time, like copper forming,
is the thread n a spider's web.
Pools of silver shimmer,
from one leaf to another, from one path trodden
to another on the soft ground.
walked right up on him in that corn field. was getting a shot of the flower & didnt see him at first, about an inch from my face!
A European Cross Spider set up home on my deck and I managed to get a this shot despite the wind which was pushing the web around. The blue/white background is the curtains behind the patio doors.
Giornata di pioggia...sulla foglia di un albero noto qualcosa che abbiamo visto in molti documentari... la caccia e la lotta per la sopravvivenza...
due piccoli protagonisti...un ragno e un curculionide...quando ho iniziato a scattare il dramma era già iniziato...CONTINUA...
