Taken with my new macro conversion lens. I was happier before I knew how ugly this teeny tiny spider really was... www.lisaclarke.net/2010/12/27/a-blow-to-the-spiders/
The female Kerengga Ant-like Jumper is the same size, shape and colour of its model. The spider also walks like the weaver ant and only jumps when its safety is threatened. However, unlike the weaver ant, M. plataleoides does not bite people, and indeed seem rather timid. By developing several constrictions around the cephalothorax and abdomen, M. plataleoides creates the illusion of having the distinct head, thorax and gaster of the weaver ant, complete with a long and slender waist. Two black patches on the head mimic the weaver ant’s large compound eyes. These patches hid real eyes – the tiny posterior-lateral eyes. Like other jumping spiders, M. plataleoides has four pairs of eyes, the largest being the anterior-median eyes. As a final touch to the disguise, the spider often holds up its two front legs like a pair of antennae.
Thank you all for stopping by, this is a Jumping Spider that i've been feeding for a while.

Im please with the way this turned out, although I think it could have been a lot sharper. Unfortunately I had mother nature to fight with on a rather windy, damp, dark, and dull day.
Went outside to get some ripe tomatoes for Tomato sauce and found this creature enjoying whats left of harvest.
Any ideas of what the name of this spider is? Seems it likes Tomatoes.
A black widow and a wolf spider fighting for their lives! No wolf spiders are not red. Both spiders were in my cabin at my hunting lease. The widow was sprayed with poison, the red one a coule of weeks before with red paint. I know it wasn't poisonous, but it was over my bed in my tiny cabin and gave me the heebie jeebies. When I came back the spider with red paint was still there and alive. I could not believe it. So I sprayed him with poison and he died. When I went to get his body the widow dropped down from the rafters almost on my hand. I poisoned her, and then took both dead spiders outside and posed them as you see. Nice trickery ey? And no I am not mean, I like spiders and normally don;t kill them. But when they are practically in my bed, good bye spidey. ;o(
A very tiny spider about 4 or 5 mm only on top of a snowdrop. There I was lying on very wet grass in very dull conditions hoping that handheld wouldn't be too blurred and 4 dogs trying to get in on the picture....how is it they won't usually pose!.
Taken with my new 10x Macro Filter. Modified in Photoshop.
She was a good sport. She was rather large and heavy so posing was a bit of a problem. But we got there. I put her back where I found her after I had finished. No spiders were harmed during the making of this photoshoot.
I found this jumping spider on the wall of a school in Nicaragua (shortly before the local kids spent 3 hours finding things and getting me to take photos of them...)
This species of jumping spider has a shiny golden coat. This one was wandering around on a planter barrel in the late afternoon.
La misma araña, en visión ventral. Puede verse la glándula de la seda en el pigidio y un buen detalle de abdomen y mandíbulas. Mejor en grande o incluso en original (si te van las emociones fuertes :-)
