I believe this is some sort of lynx spider. It was caught on my cape sundew, probably while attempting to scavenge remains of other trapped insects.
Explored Mar. 28th 2009

Capture Date : 02 Jun 2014

Only eight long legs. Big fiercesome looking spider hanging from its web (barely visible in this photo). It was descending slowly and when it reached the ground, climbed back up quickly, as if it sensed danger. This spider must have measured about 10cm end-to-end.

Kind of missed the focus on this one but I'm glad, because those fangs are much more interesting than the eyes would have been.
Based on the eye pattern I'd guess this is a Mesh Web Weaver, but if anybody has another opinion or guess I'd love to hear it.

I thought you might want to see her belly as well as her colorful abdomen. In the background is a strip of X-shaped segments in her web. The article I found said that scientists aren't sure why garden spiders create that characteristic strip, but it may serve to warn birds that there's a web anchored between these plants! Landing there could accidentally destroy the web and eliminate good food for the spider!
Screwed up the exposure so it's a bit noisy but I'm just thrilled that I got something in focus this close up.
A house spider my wife caught. Picture created from a focus stack of 33 photos taken with a Sigma 105mm macro lens. The subject was illiminated by diffused flash.
This was shot at f11 and 1/80th at 200 ISO on my Nikon D60 while holding a Canon FD 50mm f3.5 Macro 1:1 up to the lens mount. My girlfriend was holding an SB-600 at 1/4 camera right about 2 feet away.
This little guy decided to enter the house. I thought I'd try out some focus stacking, so this is 5 images using the "poor man's macro" approach of a 100mm looking through a reversed 50mm. I needed to take a bunch more images to get more depth of field, but it was a fun test. I need a reversing ring tooinstead of handholding the 50mm.
Found this one about 30 minutes before I had to head back up to Boston. This one was a bit larger than most of the other jumping spiders I had come across and was VERY cooperative for some reason. Remained still from the very first shot I took and only jumped on the lens about 3 times. Nice way to finish up a trip to TX.
