My friend, Gabriella, hiding in her leaf. She would come here after molting or when the sun was too hot to be out on the web. This is a leaf from the passion fruit vine. She lived on this vine for several weeks, but a couple of weeks ago moved to a different bush on the lawn.

This tiny spider, seen on a daisy in the garden, appears to wearing boxing gloves!

Found this spider waiting for prey at the door of my friends house. Since I had the lens, had to try a shot at this. There was no time for setting up a tripod, so had to do this handheld. The size of the spider was probably about a penny, but the macro lens is really great :)

It you enlarge this spider, you can see that each eye actually consist of 3 smaller ones. I think it is holding on to its eggs. There was no way she would let go of them.

The little fella on my thumb nail is called a treebark spider or Dolophones Conifera. They blend into tree bark very well so watch out when you want to hold onto a tree branch.

These are fast...and very small...and have lots of eyes!!

The Motley Pixel Lens Photo Repository Not sure the name of this spider. Shot using my Canon 30D and Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro lens.

Il a les yeux tellement mignons!

Jumping Spiders, are the common name of a group of hunting spiders that can leap 10 to 40 times their body length. The jumping spider has four pairs of eyes, with the large principal eyes giving it sharper vision than any other animal of similar size. It can identify prey, predators, and mates from up to 30 cm away.

The jumping spider is an active predator, usually hunting during daylight. It will stalk to within a few body lengths of the prey, crouch, crawl slowly forward, and then lift its front legs and pounce. It accomplishes its spectacular jumps by means of muscular contractions in the body that force body fluids into the legs, causing the legs to extend rapidly. The jumping spider is not a web builder as is the case with most other species of spiders.

"My love for you is like the spider you found in your room, when you loose sight of it, don't worry.......it's still there"

A tiny jumping spider hunting for mosquitos.

This is a tiny cob web spider. It's not dead, it is actually hanging from its web - upside-down, as cob web spiders are wont to do. The size is about 3 to 4 mm.

My first ever macro photo. I shot this with my canon 24-105 f/4 lens using a reversal ring.

Beatiful and hideous at the same time. Writing spider has grown steadily larger feeding on prey. This is the biggest catch to date. E300 on tripod with OM Zuiko 65-200/4 at 200 close focus. This lens continues to amaze me and seems to be better on digital than it was on film.

I have no idea why, but this jumping spider was bouncing around, turning over little leaves.

A few shots of a spider sat on its web eating a fly. The web was in front of a window so I put some different coloured backgrounds in it to see what worked best.
