Nature's insect control. Some may find them creepy, but I think they are pretty neat. This is a Golden silk orb-weaver. You can see the "gold" in her web.
Up close with an Australian icon. The Redback Spider (Latrodectus hasselti), feared by early settlers, was historically responsible for 12 deaths . An antivenom has been available since 1956, and there have been no deaths directly due to redback bites since its introduction. The female spider, as seen in this shot, is much larger then its male counterpart and has the distinctive red stripe on its abdomen. The female 'digests' the male during a successful mating process, which seems to be unique to Latrodectus hasselti. Females reach around 1 cm in size while males are 3-4 mm when mature. Shot was taken with a 100mm macro lens. NSW, Australia

I don't necessarily like spiders, but this little one was smaller than my pinky fingernail and was quite cute!
The talents seem to be the cross spiders. I saw one of them in the centre of a web. They create beautiful and very stable webs. Taken with Zeiss Makro Planar 2/50 ZE.
A jumping spider. Captured using reverse lens macro technique with Nikon 50mm 1.8G lens, manual focus, built-in flash.
Gartenkreuzspinne am Wohnzimmerfenster. Ist am Tag nicht zu sehen, zeigt sich nur in der Nacht. Nur an einem einzigen Tag zeigte sie sich von dieser Seite, sonst nur von der Unterseite.
Syrphid flower fly and tiny spider on a wedelia flower. One of those images that reveal more on the computer screen than on the camera screen...
I found the spider on one of my Plumeria trees. It seems to be a crab spider of some sort but I wasn't able to get a species ID. If anyone knows please leave a comment. This thing was very tiny, the body was about 1/4" (6-7mm) across. If it helps, this is in Corpus Christi, Texas (lower Gulf of Mexico coastal region). I used a 25mm extension tube for this.
♁ Domestic House Spider / Hauswinkelspinne (Tegenaria domestica)
A House Spider carrying her hatchlings. I'm lead to believe this species of spider is called a "Barn Funnel Weaver" in North America...much cooler!!
Redfemured Orb Weaver, I think. She was very sluggish, so I only took a couple of photos and left her alone.
