Great photo, Jams. What a lovely creature. I was out in the countryside last weekend, and enjoyed meeting some very big spiders in the bathroom and garden. Hard to get this close to them without a camera, though!
OMG! Will I sleep tonight?!
ReplyDeleteDid it knock at your door for a free photo offer? I ain't going at your studio if I have to sit next to it in the waiting room.
ReplyDeleteAh Claude, Welshcakes, have no fear! Crabbie is tiny and utterly inoffensive... unless you are an insect with a predilection for nectar
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't look tiny and inoffensive to me
ReplyDeleteAww Nursie compared to the fauna you have Down Under Crabbie is just a little lamb!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Jams. I love the colours and the black and white background.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a cool macro! These eyes and all... good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks SE, Snoopy. I love my crab spiders. I must admit that the photo is quite heavily cropped

ReplyDeleteAh Stan that's the magic of Macro!
ReplyDeleteMy camera has a macro function, but I've not yet taken the time to learn how to use it. Tch!
ReplyDeleteit's worth checking out Stan. This one was taken with a Digital SLR, dedicated macro lens and a specialist flash though
