A house spider my wife caught. Picture created from a focus stack of 103 photos taken with a Schneider 40mm APO lens reverse mounted on bellows. The subject was illiminated by diffused flash.

Taken in Coinjock, NC. Lots more photos of this spider available at blog post.

Alpaida sp. (Araneidae)

Une araignée en embuscade attend son prochain repas.

I'm impressed by the 100-400 Mk II's "macro" ability! A breeze was bouncing the web around, so the IS and AF were well exercised, too. Also impressive were this guy's (gal's?) speed and dexterity!

Single speedlite low and to right at 1/16 power.

Got some nice droplets after the rain. How many can you see? Olympus 60mm macro. Mounted on Olympus e-m5 mkiii.

For concept of size, this orb weaver is approximately 3/16" long.

Reversed 18-70mm lens, used approximately in 18-25mm range.

A walk around the garden revealed a number of tiny spiders perched on the end of growing fern fronds. As spring and summer progress I expect to see some much bigger ones.

Finally, the spider changed side and gave me a chance to capture it from it's back.

If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive.

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.

more horrifying

:::

Took me over 35 photos to catch this tiny thing...it was so small, I could have inhaled it and never noticed. Tinier than a toast crumb!

Commonly known as yellow-and-black garden spiders, the Argiope Aurantia is a common sight in shrubs and flower-beds in late summer where I live. Though they're big and fearsome-looking, they're not dangerous to humans. They weave a thick zig-zagging white line into their web, which gets smaller and less noticeable as they age.

I think they're quite pretty.
