Love At First Bite

Excellent capture lance.. incredible shot. I feel sorry for the male. :-)

Brilliant Lance – these spiders never cease to amaze me with the size difference in gender – kind of like a human mating with an elephant.

I don’t really want to know who’s the boss… wouldn’t want to argue with her… lol
Great capture… you have used your space well here… very nice.

Incredible capture Lance!

Mr. Leopold, this is an amazing photograph.

Wow that is nasty looking in a good way! =)

OMG – that’s close. Excellent shot Lance

Outstanding photography, congratulations

that is the best widdow picture, I have ever seen. awesome for Halloween.

Awesome! Are these the spiders that mate and then she eats him?

I have never seen this before.
Of course, all these creatures just knock on your door asking you to photograph them…
“Come on, Lance, we’re ready for the camera!”
Or perhaps they are all trained house hold pets.
Where ever and however you find them, the pictures are truly amazing.

awesome shot lance. the size difference is crazy. great capture. well done indeed.

Are you sure that’s the mate? Maybe it’s the baby? Don’t know a thing about these spiders ofcoarse. Geez – looks scary to meee though. Yea, Lance – how do you find all these neat spiders? And ofcoarse they’re all trained, I see. I am looking forward to seeing your FLEA CIRCUS next! now that would be cool!!!

Stunning behavioural shot, really nice work.

Aww so cute.

Cool, love the size difference… you’ve taught me something new today.   :-)

I love it! You should submit this to the Arachnids Group

OMG! That is an incredible image, wonderful macro and what detail…..how the heck! Good photography Lance, amazing!

Absolutely brilliant capture, so impressed with this. My co-host of Arachnids group, Karri Klawiter, beat me to it by a few minutes, in inviting you to submit this to the newly formed group. Hope to see you and your spiders there soon.

Astonishing macro work Lance, it is so perfectly composed.

Obviously size doesn’t matter …. brilliant macro, fav for me :-))

Cool photo. Did you know that male Redbacks generally get eaten after sex except when they engage in long foreplay by vibrating the web for 20 mins or so and/or rubbing the lady’s tummy for a long time? Don’t know where I read that essential information…

Incredible capture…........ wonder what he is looking for?? Though seeing Johns comment above…..........................................................................
