Spiders Anyone

[Second Hand Pat]

While playing with macro photography these little guys kept getting in the way. Seems many of the larger flowers have their own little macro livestock living in the petals. These spiders are at best an inch with legs.

I tried to make this work as a B&W but color seemed best suited.

Look for the white spider in this photo.

I actually like the colored version of the first shot. The colors are so vibrant and contrasting that it works really well.

Nice! For sure keep them color, best to be able to see the spiders and vivid colors of the flowers in relation to their camo.

Me too Ricardo, didn't do it justice with the B&W.

These are great. Crazy the biodiversity we overlook.

I wonder if you removed whitey and then placed it on that other plant if it would change color?

I'm with Len, Definitely Raid. Spiders give me nightmares.

For all of you spider lovers, at least they don't seem to be the jumping variety....I bet you all love those!! They are really cool though. Those Green Lynx Spiders are actually welcomed by some farmers to control pests in the fields but they love to prey on bees when they can.

Best I can guess Pat. One of the scientists on here may have a better ID.
