This was a tiny little spider (about 5mm long) just minding its own business on my kitchen window… The late morning light shining right through! :) I see her regularly there and she’s now an honorary pet alongside the guinea pigs, dog, fish and hamsters :) Named after the nursery rhyme: “Incy Wincy spider, climbed up the water spout…” ((Konica-Minolta 5D, Kit 18-70 lens @60mm, f:8, 1/8 sec, ISO 80, EV +0.3. +3 close-up filter. Curves & cropping in PS)

If you don’t already know, I have this weird (at least I’m told) Obsession with arachnids. I think they are one of the most beautiful and amazing creatures. I have been trying and trying to get a good shot of one, but since I don’t have a macro lense yet, it’s been difficult. I used my 4x zoom filters, which usually turn out blurry, but this one turned out great, in my opinion. And the fact that I caught this lovely lady on a white background, with the shadow she cast! What luck! Let me tell you, she did NOT want to pose for me. I had to keep nudging her to get out of the ball she formed. After this shot she just froze for well over an hour. Poor thing, I scared to death! I believe this gal is a “Barn Spider” ie. Araneus cavaticus / I think this makes such a cool looking card! LOL

This is what you would probably see as an insect, when you turn round.

“Nature is neither kind nor cruel. Nature just is.” (Sir David Attenborough) THE SUBJECT: / The title is apt as I photographed this little Diaea evanida (Flower Spider) as she was preparing her catch, an Apis mellifera (European Honey Bee), for dinner around 5pm on a mid-spring day. / The flower is a Actinotus helianthi (Flannel Flower), an iconic Aussie wildflower. THE LOCATION: / The shot was made while on a solo wildflower safari at Grant’s Head, Bonny Hills, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Dinner at Five 2/2’: / I was all twisted up like a pretzel as I tried to get a good angle of shot under the flower, set the metering, get the focus and frame the shot while my subject was trying to get away from me and my Fuji. There was a price to pay. I got a tick under my watchband. I didn’t notice it until after I got home and it was a minor operation to dig it out intact. / The trick with the exposure was to meter off the very bright Flannel Flower and lock it then focus on the subject and use the flash to compensate and fill shadows. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/3.6 @ 1/400sec, Manual focus, Pop-up flash at lowest power, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Insects & Spiders collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more multi-legged critters. UPDATE: / 13-01-09 / The judge for the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club December 2008 Open Competition awarded my spider ‘n’ bee a Merit Certificate in the Large Colour Print section. UPDATE: / 19-03-09 / My bee munchin’ Arachnid has been featured in the Arachnids Group. Enjoy! HYMENOPTERA & SPIDERS HYMENOPTERA / (Click the links!)

I’ve fallen in love with these little guys, so I apologise for yet another image of a jumping spider, but I can’t help it. By the way, that’s my reflection in his eyes (well, my macro lens anyway).

A wolf in wolf’s clothing. I was at home in Kallaroo, Western Australia, watching cricket on TV. I do a lot of that; at least according to Carol I do! Australia was losing so I was getting restless. I noticed this Wolf Spider over by the fireplace, eyeing me up. They are a fierce and feisty lot, the Wolf Spiders, and fearless hunters. We share our house with several of these. They mostly allow us the run of the place, but occasionally they get a bit grumpy as this one did after suffering numerous ocular assaults from my flash unit from a range of, oh, all of two inches. He was quite docile for a while; just sat there and let me take pic after pic. But then he started to get a bit angry and agressive. He charged me a couple of times and then started chasing me around the family room. Every time I changed direction he followed me. At one point he actually leapt in the air trying to get to me. No matter that he was about the size of an Aussie fifty cent piece, he was gonna get me no matter what. After a while I was able to appeal to his better nature and eventually he calmed down. Well, let’s be honest, I ran away and he forgot about me. By the time I returned and caught him in a sandwich box and ejected him from the house (wife’s orders) we were back on friendly terms. Of course he’s got plenty of mates around the house, so we’ll have to be on the lookout in case they start plotting The Arachnid’s Revenge. Anyone for a horror movie?

This image has 22 pictures of assorted bugs, spiders, and insects and would be a perfect greeting for any lover of creepy crawlies. I printed it in two sizes, 4 X 6 and 8 X 10 to make sure each little picture is visible and there’s no problem. Prints clearly! For the bug lovers among us, I hope you like this. I think my friend Jesika will; in fact, this one’s for you, Jesika! Postscript: (If anyone has grandkids, especially grandsons, I bet they’d love studying this bug card/poster. I know my grandson will so I’m sending it his way with Mammy’s love for him and the critters).
