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

Floating with Purpose by Todd Wynia

60 25

A ring-necked duck floating around Pond 6 with purpose. A poorly named duck. In just the right light you can see a faint chestnut-colored ring around the base of its neck. Not a great mark to identify this species in the field, but according the the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the ring around the neck stood out to a 19th century biologist that described the species using dead specimens. I've never seen a dead one, so I'll have to take their word for it.

I find the iridescence on these broad-billed hummingbirds to be just astounding. Such a gorgeous display of shimmering plumage color accented by that red beak. You can see his delicate feet hanging down.

Their feet are so delicate that hummingbirds are incapable of walking or hopping. Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona.

Silently gliding through the water, graceful and majestic, keeping close to its partner and their usual nesting place. I hope that their cygnets will be safe this year, and not fall prey to heron or fox like a few of them did last year.
