The jumping spider Opisthoncus quadratarius in my backyard today.




It's easy to forget just how tiny jumping spiders are when we look at your wonderful photos Stephen.

Jan 29, 2023 11:50 | #7923 While I was laid up at my sister’s from a broken patella, I was given the chore of feeding her koi that were down three flights of stairs, which was quite a challenge in my leg brace with absolute instructions not to fire my quads for 10 weeks. So the easiest way was to shuffel out on the upper deck, then pour the fish pellets mixed in water down 30’ below. I don’t know what the fish thought? A food bomb or mana from heaven!

I have shot Lacewings before, but had never found their larva before. From above, I just thought this was some random fluff that landed on the leaf before I noticed it moving a little. It probably only took me about 50 shots to get one with its eyes and mandibles showing. I was also pretty excited to find lacewing eggs, and with all the time in the world to wait for them to start hatching, but alas they had all already hatched!
