Yellow is the New Green! Pt. 1 - _TNY_8028
This pretty yellow thing is actually a subadult green huntsman spider (Micrommata virescens).
In a little while, he will turn bright green, except for the abdomen that will stay red and yellow, but for now the name certainly appears a bit misleading.
This is the only huntsman spider (Sparassidae) in Sweden and not very large by huntsman standards, but still quite attractive, wouldn't you agree?
Also, this is one of the first shots I've done with my new Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, replacing my older Canon 100mm macro. So far it's looking very good!
