  • A jumping spider from my garden. / This was used for the cover of a program in Europe for spiders of the world exhibition.

  • 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).

  • Caught this guy hanging out on my backdoor screen!

  • I rarely see a red spider…here is one having a drink!

  • This was an interesting photoshoot. A friend of mine caught this Trapdoor spider in his house. He called me to let me know. I couldn’t make it there that day and I forgot about it. He called me a few days later to tell me that he was about to let the Spider go. Not wanting to waste an opportunity, I headed up to his house. We released the Spider on his carpet (they are not very fast moving, particularly when they have been in a jar for a few days – he did feed it though) and I took a few photos. I wasn’t getting the result I wanted. We moved a pencil around near the front of it as this type of Spider (and others in the Mygalomorph family which includes the Sydney Funnel Web Spider) raise up their front legs and sometimes hold the position before they strike. When they do strike, it is a repeated downwards motion as this type of strike is the most effective given the orientation of their fangs. I thought that placing the Spider on his glass coffee table may yield a more interesting result. We moved the Spider there in a jar and placed it on the coffee table. I still wasn’t getting the reflection I wanted. My friend then suggested a mirror – he had one that was small enough to be moved, but big enough to allow the Spider to move on it – this was perfect. We moved the pencil around in front of the Spider again until it held it’s pre-attack position. I took a few shots whilst it was in this position. It attacked the pencil a few times, but soon realised that its attempts were fruitless. We released the Spider unharmed after the photoshoot. :)

  • This yellow flower crab spider sits motionless on yellow flowers and then surprises it’s prey. Here, a helpless bee is easy pickens . The yellow flower crab spider blends in seemlessly in yellow flowers, and is practically invisible to the naked eye. I checked in on this guy all day. He sat patiently for 12 hours, until the moment was just right. He uses no webs-just camouflage and precision timing! / Nature is amazing! (Windsor, CT.)

  • 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

  • I WAS THINKING ABOUT SPIDERS TODAY, SITTING IN PEACE HAVING A BITE TO EAT. WEIRD HUH? / / KEEP TRACK OF YOUR DINING EXPERIENCE WITH THIS UNIQUE WATCH FOR ONLY $12.99! /

  • . / . / Featured in Arachnids October 29, 2008. Found this adorable little cutie playing among the black-eyed-susans in my garden one morning. I’d seen spiders like this before, but they were all white. This amazing golden color is not a trick of Photoshop!! Image taken 9/8/08 with the Nikon D40x, using the 70-300mm VR in Montgomery County, Maryland. Post processing includes very minor use of levels and removal of some distractions. From Wikipedia: / “Misumena vatia is a species of crab spider with holarctic distribution. In North America, where it is the largest and best-known flower spider, it is called the goldenrod crab spider, because it is commonly found hunting in goldenrod sprays in the autumn. / Young males in the early summer may be quite small and easily overlooked, but females can grow up to 10 mm (without legs); males reach 5 mm at most. / These spiders may be yellow or white, depending on the flower in which they are hunting. Especially younger females, which may hunt on a variety of flowers such as daisies and sunflowers, may change color “at will”. Older females require large amounts of relatively large prey to produce the best possible clutch of eggs. They are therefore, in North America, most commonly found in goldenrod (Solidago sp.), a bright yellow flower which attracts large numbers of insects, especially in autumn. It is often very hard even for a searching human to recognize one of these spiders on a yellow flower.” ... up close and personal: /

  • My earlier in the summer find of that very cool white/transparent flower crab spider that everyone loved so much even when creeped out had babies!! Or at least had ONE baby that I found today on the last rose of the season!! I know that it isn’t the same one because it is smaller and the red pattern on it’s back is lighter. I must admit it scared the living $x%x* out of me as I was reaching to hold the rose still for a few closeup and he crawled out on the petal right in front of my nose! I am just glad that he hung on when I let the branch go!! LOL Gave me a chance to catch my breath before the shoot started:) Loving the new Canon 500D and my new Sigma 70mm EX DG Macro lens!! / Taken in Airdrie, Alberta Canada Sept 14th at 6:15pm MST Featured in: Super Macro Photography and Extreme Closeups and In The Pink /

  • My favorite little furry friend at Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens and Crematorium (Up Delhi Rd from Chatswood, NSW). He even let me stroke his cute little head after the session. A very personable little spider indeed. Canon 5D2 + MPE 65mm @ 3.5x / F/13, ISO-800, 1/200sec + ringflash. Auto-tone and Camera Faithful preset in Lightroom. Sharpening in Photoshop using the High-Pass sharpen (USM) and Linear Light blend method. Tweaked Shadows / Highlights to bring out its blues and bright orange. It was sitting on a small leaf towards the centre of a rose bush, as I pushed the front of the lens and ringflash mount through the foliage to snap him, I have some how lost the light from the bottom half of the ring flash. If you look at the reflection in its eyes, you can see the ringflash pushed hard up against the leaf it is sitting on producing an erie, almost lunar landscape look in its eyes. The blue flecks were present in the raw image, though not very pronounced. Usually I use the Lightroom Tone Curve control, however this time, since I was already in Photoshop, I used the Shadows/Highlights adjustment panel to good effect. I must say that this spider was either ultra confident at an escape route if need be, or it was just too damned hot to bother, as there were many times that the ringflash came to grief on thorns and the whole plant shook but this little guy just waited patiently for the next shot. Maybe he remembered me from yesterday when I hounded him up the side of a tree trying to get a shot and surmised that he’d better just let me have my fun then maybe I’d leave him alone – which I did!
