Unidentified spider from suburban garden. Found under stones. 4mm long nose to tail (excluding legs). Any help with identification would be very welcome. Theridiidae?

 

8 image stack, 2X magnification. Nikon D5200 Tokina 100mm +68mm f32 1/250 diffused flash.

Jumping spiders are great fun to photograph and sometimes very accommodating but this one wasn't. So I was pleased to have grabbed this shot of this male Zebra Spider Salticus scenicus.

La Coupe, Jersey

is he going to get in your dreams?

Shot with Canon EOS M, Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro, Canon 580EX II

This spider had woven a huge orb web across a 10 foot span of my back yard that I almost hadn't seen when cutting the grass. I tried to get a picture of it in the web but my digital camera refused to focus on the spider itself. Since I needed to finish cutting the grass, I collected the spider up on the back of a notebook. Then I could get a picture.

 

It curled up into a little lump, apparently imitating a bird dropping.

Taken with reversed 28mm Takumar lens and Canon 7D.

Qualche giorno fa mi sono "scontrato" con una ragnatela e sono rimasto colpito: di norma le ragnatele mi si rompono e mi si appiccicano addosso. Questa invece semplicemente s'è tesa quanto è bastato per permettermi di accorgermi della sua presenza, ma non ha ceduto alla mia spinta. Mi sono chiesto che razza di ragno potesse costruire una tela così resistente ma nei paraggi non ho notato né ragni né possibili tane. Oggi però ho colto l'industrioso aracnide in loco. Sono corso a prendere la macchina fotografica ed il treppiede, ma mentre montavo il tutto vicino alla tela il timidone se l'è svignata, indicandomi il suo rifugio: una campana appesa vicino alla porta d'ingresso! Hah! Adesso so dove abiti! Timido o no, non mi sfuggirai!

For about a month now as the temperatures drop each evening at dusk, I watch this guy come out from somewhere and mend his web from the night before, and collect food. At about 10PM he is gone again until tomorrow. I wonder how long he can withstand the freezing overnight temperatures. Or how long till the food is gone. He is so big I dare not get too close. Garden Orb Weaving Spider

This is my first jumping spider shot, I found this litte guy on the office's garden.

 

It's incredible how this spider can jump.

 

Close up lenses +2 +4.

What is that dude doing on your web? Is that a look of lust or hate in his 8 eyes? Stay tuned for the dramatic and confusing conclusion...

check the larger version for detail....

 

I was trying to figure out which one I liked best, and Fenchurch suggested the triptych format, which I think turned out quite nicely.

This guy came home with me folded in my tent. I took about 100 pictures of him and this was the best I got. He was a bit too hyper and kept jumping onto my lens and running into my softbox.

The enormous jaws of a male Myrmarachne plantaleoides.

Ιστός αράχνης, τραβηγμένος στο γεφύρι λίγο πριν την Καρύταινα

I was playing about with using wireless flash on macro, wondering whether I should buy a proper macro lens and what should crawl up the curtain...

St Andrews Cross spider - 50mm reversed lens

 

This shot was done using a 50mm zenit lens reverse mounted on 100mm macro lens, 4 shots and focus stacked using the MT24EX macro flash.

 

Lucky for me, the spider was very happy to sit still with me clicking away..

 

A total of 2:1 macro shot.

Me encontré esta araña en el fregadero de la cocina mientra fregaba y... Argggh! Qué "repeluco"!! Las arañas me molan, sobre todo para hacerles fotos,pero ésta me dio un buen susto, pues no esperaba encontrármela ahí. Así es que fotitos y a la terraza, a disfrutar de la libertad ;)

Like you didn't know that gag was coming :P

This is what it would look like if a giant spider was about to step on you!
