mmmmmm Tasty Bug

I found this hard to get (what I think) bang on. It was taken a few hours ago in the dark. I had to use my 270ex flash. I tried to take it down one notch but came out to dark so left it as it was (on -/+0).

No idea what the spider is. Not seen that colour one before. Anyone know?

The bug thing it has was about a millimeter in size.

Wow, stunning detail Dave, I don't think I'll show this one to the wife and daughter

excellent macro shot.

Skyline ... I have a love hate relationship with spiders , I am not sure if I could get that close .... good shot , braver than me .

I go to Thailand quite a lot and would love to do more macro work


Roy

super duper very well done mr Skywebb

Cheers Ken. I got a ewwww from my wife


Thanks mossy




I lived with my mum from 11 to 17 in a 300 year old cottage where spiders were ripe, so they really don't bother me....... Not in this country anyway



Cheers the one they call Cakey. It's still out there now making its web bigger.

Great shot Dave.......Thumbs up for perseverance. Its a Araneus diadematus by the way, a common garden spider. A next test for you would be getting it head on, so you could see all of its eyes

he wont like his garden being called common hahahahaha

Thank Mark. I did try and turn it round so it was facing me but it ran and hid. I waited a minute then gently tapped with web, it came speeding out again. I got a few more pics, but the angle and the fence by me it was impossible to get a head on shot.


Even the common carp in Kent are upper class

Are you sure that when you tried to turn it around it was not you that ran and hid Dave,lol.....
What makes this image so good is that it was taken in the dark. I would not of guessed
