Just getting the feel of my tele-macro (Sigma) and its capabilities. Spiders are easy subjects - they only move for two things....bugs and little girls.

Btw, the spider is only about 3/4-inch in diameter.

A 2-3mm spiderling (uncropped) taken using a 100mm macro lens on a 3x macro focusing teleconverter.

Not a spectacular shot for a spectacular spider but worthy of a show and tell.

A small 9mm spider I found in my garage.

he's happy because he has a web in a place full of butterflies ... yummy :) largish

This was a lucky shot I saw this massive spider and had my camera at hand.

Under my grill's cover!

Ela tinha cores fantásticas, as vezes verde, as vezes vermelha, dependendo do ângulo de incidência da luz, tanto no abdome na parte superior quanto nos dentes!!

Trying out my new macro lens.

There was nothing to use as scale, but this particular spider (called a zipper spider due to the 'zipper' in the web) was about 7 inches long from leg to leg. The last day at this location something (possibly a bear... I personally wouldn't go after this one without a shotgun...) ate this, as it's web was torn to bits in the morning.

update: I've been informed that this is officially called an "Orb Weaver" and was the inspiration for Charlotte's Web.

This tiny spider was clinging on to the leaf unaware of the fact that its posing nicely for me.

A spider hold a big ball..does someone know what it is for?

Spider in my garden.

Interesting criptic colouration in both spider and prey
