This required the tripod and the captive spider. The reading light made a big difference in the protruding eyes. I'll upload some variations.<br /><br />This wolf is a regular pet (we also have a tarantula spiderling), so she's always available for a photoshoot. It just costs me a well-fed cricket.<br /><br />For in situ spiders, things can get more complicated. I generally try not to move any spider if possible. We have a few garage spiders with egg sacks too -- I think they're a type of cobweb spider.<br /><br />I think these are the only spiders I've seen for a while. We're just starting to see ground again as the snow melts... just in time for another snowfall this weekend. <br /><br />UGH! Seven consecutive weekends of snow. We haven't had our big snowfall months yet (March and April) 62" when our yearly average is 61".Hypatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006794721285468833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13646394.post-81907367179227628122007-02-06T08:02:00.000-07:002007-02-06T08:02:00.000-07:00Oh very nice!

The bottom of our garage door collects these beautiful little shiny brown and tan girls with their egg sacks. A few times a day they get to ride up and down and then I can walk under them and admire them. The problem is that they're inconvenient to photograph, and I am reluctant to move them since they are always well ensconced in their webs with egg sacks and meals-in-waiting. I don't want to mess up their lives, but they're great-looking.<br /><br />Anyway, bravo on getting an actual view of the large eyes protuding a bit.<br /><br />adivhqhMatt Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731018937989711921noreply@blogger.com
