[racketman]

like that first one LordV - similar shape to the Tetragnatha genus that hide behind grass leaves, very elongated.

My favorite as it was so difficult with the web only a few inches off the ground close to my front door:

[cwmehring]

Heres one I shot with the sigma 50mm 2.8 lens. Not bad, but it would be nice to get in closer.

Heres my too. Great shots everyone.

Dalentech, i love that shot.


2 A Crab Spider

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2134/2030621904_38b06a2420.jpg (http://)

I like that crab spider -very reflective but you nailed it! :cool:

[Dalantech]

Here's my second. I like this shot because the crab spider turned that bee so it could inject digestive fluids into it form multiple points and it finally turned the bee so that I could get its eyes. The bee is long gone in this image...

http://dalantech.smugmug.com/photos/147542667-L.jpg

Notice that the spider still has some yellow pigment in its skin. It has only been on that clover flower for about a day and hasn't had time to fully change color.

[macro junkie]

crab spiders are so cool.great shot

[TheFishGuy]

Wow, those are some great shots. Not sure why everyone is scared of spiders!?!? :eek:

Here are my two. this spider I took a bunch of pictures of, and at the end of the night, I tossed it a moth as a thank you, and I was rewarded with this

My second one, I recently took of a jumping spider

Looks pretty good to me! Just try different angles :)

[mr.white]

Tough call, I usually veer towards the most interesting rather than the most technically sound.

Tail-less whip spider (Amblypygid):
