If I were a spider, this is exactly how I would look if I was about to pounce on a freshly cooked crispy juicy Ginabot with Vinegar,Soy sauce with lots of white onions hehe
I have caught this particular species of flower crab spider all over the Pacific North West. They come in two colours, yellow and white, both with a red stripe around the large abdomen. The yellow and white varieties are actually one and the same, the spider can change colour to yellow or white, depending on the colour of the flower it hides in. The colour change takes a couple of days. It is most effective, as the spider waits motionless, ready to spring into action when a meal shows up,
These spiders catch bees more than any other group of insects. Bees, of course, come to get nectar and do some pollinating in the process. Suddenly the spider flashes its front four legs out which they use to snare their victum. Unlike other spiders, these ones don't use silk in the feeding process; they finish with their prize, drop it, and prepare for the next one. I have seen many a bee become victum to their effective technique.
I shot this using my 55 mm Nikkor D micro lens and macro flash mounted on the end of the lens. The 55 mm is a nice focal length when using weak flashes as you can get very close to the subject, usually within a few inches, which means you can keep a very small aperture. the small aperture, often around f/45 or smaller, gives enough depth of field that often you can get all or most of your minute subject in focus.

Spent a day in the bush looking for insects and flowers. Found this spider hanging on its web. This spider is common in Grenada.

A spider captured with a 10x magnifying glass attached to my lens.
This lovely lady's web spanned a 2.5-3 meter space between two trees, yet she's only about 1.5 cm long and moved quite slowly when disturbed.
I need to work on lighting but this was the best I got out of maybe 200 shots so I thought I'd post it.
Largish house spider found when tidying outside the French windows. Think she was guarding an egg sac. Focus stacked using zerene stacker

This guy has taken up residence just outside our door. I know some Flickr friends will be creeped out, but there's a certain beauty at the same time. I find it fascinating!
Having internet access trouble -- glad to have at least a window of opportunity to share this guy!
This spider had made an amazing 'bucket' nest, with solid, non-sticky strands above it. Flying insects would crash into the strands and fall into the pit of sticky threads, to be pounced upon by the eight-legged host...
Cuanto más utilizo el macro de la S6, más impresionado me tiene... Fundamental verla en grande o incluso en tamaño original. El nivel de detalle de los pelillos y de los restos del moscardón que se está comiendo es completamente alucinante.
