Hi,

Spent the morning in the Brambles photographing Dark Bush Crickets (will post one later) when I caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye... I was allowed three frames of this fast but fully loaded spider.

Not a great image but one I thought would be of interest.

All the best

Phil

frankly i'd prefer spider crabs (for consumption that is)

That said, a great image. I just bought some extension tubes to go into macro (it'll only be my 100th attempt) but i doubt i'd ever get close to even 0.1% as good as you!

i think its a good image. those blackberry buds are nicely balancing the spider in between them. busy but it works (imho)

Great shot Phil - shows the texture of the egg case to a tee

Looks fine, to me, esp as its a grab shot, looks like a fine, in its environ picture.

Hi Phil, it works well - I think you have a very good DOF here

Nice photo, but i think your ID may be a bit off. More likely to be a Lycosidae, probably Pardosa sp.

Cheers,

Dan.

OOPS.... thats what happens when you can't find your field guide and have to rely on a small sheet, You are of course correct Daniel Wolf Spider it is and Pardosa sp.

Cheers.

Phil

One of the great advantages of this site is the depth and breadth of both wildlife and photographic knowlege of the participants, and all that knowledge being shared so freely!
Good image Phil, and good ID Daniel.
Best wishes
Phil
