Green lynx spider macro
I went for a hike Wednesday morning at Rancho Canada Del Oro Open Space Preserve. I was scouting the trails for an upcoming macro photography workshop and spotted this Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans) on a Mule Ear blossom.

More images from the hike can be seen here:

That's a heck of a macro shot!! :biggrin: That is a very green spider; the greens and yellows work well together in this. Great detail on that spider.

We don't have any greenery like this showing up yet. Just barely got rid of the snow and things are still very brown. And quite dry, too.

That is a very cool macro image!! The spider really jumps out on the orange background. Excellent!
