A bite to eat by Shelley Warbrooke
My spider friend! Taken in my backyard on the 17th of October, 2009. This is a black and white jumping spider (not sure what species etc.). You have to be very wary of these little guys that they don’t jump on your lens! I caught this guy having a snack while observing me curiously. Canon 400D and 100mm macro lens.

I See You There by sternbergimages
Jumping Spider / Phidippus audax Jumping spiders are bold daytime hunters with acute vision. The spiders leap onto their prey and overpower it. It is a common predator of many crop pests, including boll weevils, spotted cucumber beetles, bollworms, cotton leaf worm, fall webworm, cotton fleahopper, lygus bugs, stink bugs, three-cornered alfalfa hoppers, leafhoppers, sorghum midges, mosquitoes. / This species varies in size and color but average around 0.5 inch long. The spiders are mostly black, and typically the top of the abdomen has a rather large white to red central spot and a pair of smaller posterior spots. The chelicerae are metallic green. Juveniles often have orange abdominal spots that turn white at maturity. / Phidippus audax is a grassland and prairie species, but it is also found in open woodland, old fields, gardens, and around and in homes. The species is widespread from southeastern Canada and the eastern United States to Washington, New Mexico and eastern Mexico. It has been introduced into Southern California and Hawaii. It winters as subadults, matures and mates in the spring, and produces egg sacs under bark of logs in the summer. Taken at Pritchard Park in Racine, WI / Using a Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd / ISO- 100 / Aperture- f/4.0 / Exposure- 1/320

Strange Spider - Topside by paulakerr
Please refer to my other photograph of this spider’s underside. I hope someone can tell me what kind of spider this is. The pic unfortunately doesn’t capture its back well, but its back is similar to a circular shell design. Please also see other pic “Strange Spider” on my site. Would appreciate any help on identifying its species.

Is anyone able to identify the type of spider this is. I took this photo quite some time ago and the spider is no longer in my garden. This pic is taken of its underside. The topside looks a bit like a circular shell design, browns, reds, yellows from memory. Please see other pic of his topside. Hope someone can help.

Eriophora transmarina - Garden Orb Weaver by Jason Asher
Featured in Top Shelf Wildlife & Nature Art – November 2009 / Featured in Macro Untouched – November 2009 Thanks to Andrew for identifying this as a Garden Orb Weaver. Appreciate it mate.

Shot on the 27th of October 2009 in Brisbane, Australia, with a Canon 450d and a 70-300 is usm telephoto with 68mm of stacked extension tubes.

The S Den, digital image on german etching paper, A3 size by Lorry Bentham
From a series of work of 10 and growing. For the subject matter I explored my back garden and the wetlands and fields at the back of my house for ideas. It was in this very space I came across a whole area of trees whose branches and leaves are enveloped in spider webs so thick that they seem impenetrable. Grabbing camera and dog, I proceeded to take many pictures of this phenomenon as a starting point. It was interesting to observe whilst taking the pictures that many dog walkers had not noticed them up until this moment even though they walk under them every day. There was a lot of squirming going on. I decided to have some fun. In this mode I revisited some photos I took of a huntsman and her young which had just hatched in a large dry tree husk, a great find whilst clearing the garden. Also images of my daughter in a sack race were used and manipulated.
