I had a bunch of spiders in the line-up, so I put them together for this spoooooky post.
First up is a final picture of that big Wolf Spider (
Tigrosa aspersa) that I showed a while back. This is when I released her.

A large Nursery Web Spider (
Pisaurina mira) from my wide angle macro lens. I had hoped she would cooperate, but she would not and I could not get the desired picture. Here she is trying to clamber up onto the lens.

A Furrow Orbweaver (
Larinioides cornutus). This secretive species stays hidden in a tightly woven leaf or web funnel near one corner of their web.

And finally, one of the common large orbweavers that I commonly find in the yard. This is a Shamrock Orbweaver (
Araneus trifolium). I also used the amazing Venus 2.5-5x super macro lens to do a face portrait focus stack.

Thank you for looking!
Outstanding, Mark. Really nice.
Only because Wolf Spiders are my second favorite after Jumpers I rate the first shot Best in Set followed closely by the last one.
Michael Myers & Jason will have to take a backseat to this scary crew!
Thank you Mark for an incredible series of spiders. Well done.
Dennis
Super outstanding series..!
