  • Hi Shelly, don’t be affraid, the little fella was only about 4mm in size at full stretch. Thanks for your response. I just had a look at your profile and love your use of shapes and light.

    how’d you get him to hold still. i find the weaver spiders easier to capture.

  • Many thanks. You’re right there, much time is wasted with missed shots, whilst trying to capture these active little spiders.

    YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO BE GLAD YOU’RE NOT A FLY. WONDERFUL CAPTURE.

  • Thank for commenting. As you say, to be their size and live in their world is a frightening thought. Thankfully they are quite tiny.
