Two more spiders

[V6GTO]

These two taken today.

I must buy an ID book, not a clue what this is. He was catching a few rays on a terracotta pot.



And another jumper I think.

Nice pics though

Wow... That's really close. They are not much bigger than about an inch, are they?
What gear did you use?

[V6GTO]

The first is about 10mm and the jumping spider is about 6mm
Canon 1DmarkII N, 100mm Macro + 65mm of extention tubes.

Zebra spider
Salticus scenicus
Zebra spiders belong to the family Salticidae (also known as jumping spiders) who are believed to have the best eyesight of any arthropod. If you take a close look at one of these spiders it will often turn its head to look straight back at you

Think number two is the above. If you move your finger in close proximity it will track it, superb to watch.

Still to big for my liking, hate spiders

They walk through my room . . . and I can hear 'em on the wood!

I catch and throw out . . .

One of the first pic I made with my Fuji S602Z:

Those spikes are barbed wire, it's not a big spider...
