Close up of a spider

Night macro shoots @ Venus Drive

My flash is in for repairs. On-board flash was killing the scene (too bright, too many shadows). So I grabbed a common-or-garden torch and lit her up this way......

Just a sample of what I can produce. I am tenacious and persistent. Good things come to those who work hard.

This spider puts me in the mood for chocolaty coffee drinks. Happy Arachtober 16th.

[note -- the originally uploaded photo was bothering me. I just don't like my spiders to be so far away, so I cropped it in. That, and I really think the detailing on this particular spider deserves a close proximity]

Larinioides cornutus

This House Spider was found, perhaps appropriately, on my house. On the outside, fortunately, under an overhang. I took several shots, but I liked this one because of all of the angles of the legs and because of the way it seemed to be protecting the sac.

Dolomedes triton

I found this hulking orb weaver one night while working. Covered in spines he is one of the largest male orb weavers I've ever seen around here. His pedipalps are huge and weird looking and he is looking for love.

Tiny Orchard spider running around its broken web on a windy day. Web was frequently breaking due to strong wind as it tries to rebuild it. Has a smiley face on it's belly!

These spiders are plentiful along the banks of the Eno River. Fortunately, they are more afraid of me than I am of them.

A tiny spider hunts on blades of grass

guarding the entrance to its cave. I think it must have a bit of a next down in there, it hangs around this spot all the time. I dont know what kind of spider it is so people of flickr, i know you will tell me soon enough :) I really do like the beautiful patterns on this spider. So interesting.

New hatchlings in front; big momma "queen" behind. Bits of exoskeleton all around.

No spiders were harmed during the photographic session. Although I did blow on her to make her face the camera.
