i have been trying to get the fangs in focus for a while. so i am pleased with this shot! Thanks :-)

I did a bit of messing with the GNU (GIMP) software. i changed hue til it looked brownish, desaturated it, and adjusted lightness...
i thought it wasnt a bad attempt at manually making a SEPIA....comments welcome.

venom glans, not fangs.
fangs are the things underneath the venom glans, these are fangs shown here. . . http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1361/786047138_5819aa3d80_o.jpg
Your lynx spider fangs look rather small, all tho i think most lynx spiders do have small fangs but a powerful venom to stop their prey.
But great shots of a lynx spider face! I all ways like seeing the different eye patterns on spiders

[johnkermit1]

wow.nice fang detail. :-)
i did manage a bit of the fangs (not like your shot though.)...lol
but the venom glands on that lynx are quite large also.

Them are nice glands John.

thanks Brian. now i see from SMB example, i can get ever more detail on the fangs,...i mean in this shot, it is the most fang detail i have got yet...so im still waiting for a good one like the example above. :-)

Nice shot JK - colours and expression on the "face" are great :)

[johnkermit1]

thanks Dave! :-)

by the way i don't recommend anoring the spider till it gets like the above, I have learn't over the years how spiders work, and how unpredictable they can be So do be careful! The lynx do normally have large venom glads as they need a fear amount of poison to keep there prey still the last thing the spider wants is its dinner jumping around while its trying to eat it. the spider doesn't have the huge arms like a preying mantis to hold its prey still so it uses venom!
