Hi Guys,

There wasn't much out this morning (that I could find). All I got a half decent picture of is a lonely old crab spider. (At least that's what I think it is).



Since I didn't have much to work with today I thought I'd go through some older unprocess images. Found this one which I quite liked...



Comments and Critique most welcome

lvoe the second one. great sharpness and the colour contrast between the spider and the wall is great. really nice job.
perosnally, i really dont like square crops so thas my only criticism of it.

colour contrast between the spider and the wall is great

Good angles and nice dof...but as rooz said, the colour contrasts really do it for me.

Nice shots with good detail and lighting.

The first one is a little too tightly cropped top and bottom for my liking. I believe the first one is also a huntsman. The body shape does not look right for a crab spider.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I always find it very hard to ID insects and spiders. Here is a link to the page that made me think it is a crab spider:

What do you think? The description also says they are common in eucalypt forrests, which is where I found this guy.

Ah, yes. It could be that one. It is quite different from the "usual" crab spiders.

Mortein ?,

just kidding.
The images are great, I just don't like the creatures - especially whent they are INSIDE the house
My wife tried to remove a large huntsman from a wall with a vacuum cleaner (strong vacuum cleaner I may say).
Large huntsman wouldn't let go, strong vacuum cleaner not strong enough - wife was not impressed.
Huntsman too large to capture with cup or glass - ehhhhh
