A Tube Web Spider. Great macro subjects, as they seem to pose for you! First real test of my new Sigma 50mm prime macro. Lit only with a small torch (in an otherwise pitch black cellar). Tube web spiders are actually originally native to the Mediterranean, but have spread throughout western Europe as the temperature has risen in recent times. They are one of the few spiders in the British Isles that can pack a bite thats strong enough to hurt a human.

This giant beast of a spider is living outside my garage. I had to overcome my immense fear of spiders to take this photo. Funny story, the first time i tried to get my finger in there for scale, I accidentally touched the web which made the spider crawl upwards and me freak out like a little girl...this was a stressful one

It took me 3 weekends just to get this shot. These spiders are constantly running.

The wasp-mimicking spider or Supunna funerea is one of the fastest spiders in Australia. While running, it waves its two forelegs above its body, mimicking the two antennas of a wasp.

small garden jumping spider ( family Salticidae Opisthoncus Polyphemus)

this little one was jumping around me this morning and was as curious of me as i was of it so i couldn't help myself i just had to grab the camera it was smaller than a 5c piece and they measure at 19mm across ( i love macro )

I found this, stuck to some duck tape, in the spare room. It's all dried out.

Thanks zxgirl and Venom for ID help.

Zebra spider (about 7mm long) taken with a reverse mounted Kinotel 8mm movie camera lens on a short extension tube.

I haven,t a clue what species this is, if anyone does know; by all means tell me.

He leapt off the desk a couple of times and then would haul himself back up by his safety line

What I think is a common garden spider , living near our shed, it posed - I shot it :)

Daddy long legs

About 5mm !

Running running running

This is the same picture but cropped closer. If you view in one of the larger sizes you should be able to see the feathers. This is a different kind of spider from the one I found feathers on before.

First created a shadow to protect it from the harsh sunlight, then brought back the light with a DVD-cover wrapped with aluminium foil. Not the sharpest one nor the best focus selection but I personally love the light.

Macro Spider

I caught this spider building a web just outside our back door this morning.

Used Raynox DCR-250 conversion lens.

The original idea was to take photos of the flowers and this little spider walked out.
