This little guy was on the wall to my office building one morning when I was heading into work, so I took a quick hand-held shot of him (or her).
If you're wondering how long it's been since I've had a romantic relationship, I caught this lil' guy apparently readying up to build some spiderwebs in my bed today.
(I moved it off of my bed. Hopefully it'll go kill less adorable and more annoying bugs and not decide that my bed is a cool place to hang out)
Conocida también como araña Napoleón debido al dibujo que presenta muchos ejemplares, que recuerda a la figura de este personaje historico.
La hembra puede alcanzar hasta los 8mm. Prosoma negro, brillante. Patas negras, brillantes, anilladas con pardo. Opistosoma circular, lenticularmente abultado, dorsalmente de color amarillo, naranja o rojizo con patrón ancho, foliáceo, negro.
El macho es algo mas oscuro y pequeño, llegando hasta los 4 mm. de longitud de cuerpo.
Habita entre hojas y flores, normalmente rosas o amarillas donde es fácil verlas en primavera acechando a sus presas.
Two spiders got into a fight in my garage and by the time I returned with the camera the brown one on the right had beaten the albino-looking one on the left and had the loser cocooned in webbing.
Sized large for wallpaper use if you are into that sort of thing. Enjoy.
Strobist info: Neewer TT520 strobe on 1/4 power just camera left. Fired with some new Yonguo RF-603CII remotes I'd just gotten and am very pleased with.
She seems to get a decent nosh at least every other day, and continues to grow in size!

This picture was just a test. Even processing was just a test. But am liking it how it turned out hehe :D
Processed in Light Room and that too from Jpeg, not from RAW.
I wanted it to be underexposed to recover as much details but i forgot to shoot Raw hehe. I bumped up the exposure plus added a lot of detail and sharpness, That's why at full resolution image looks degraded.
But am really enjoying playing with full manual control and also manual control over flash.
Ps;- This was really a tiny Spidey. May be less than a Cm.
