This is a dangerous one, a black widow. Have only seen one, taken a few years ago while they were remodeling the building.

lol - I find them intriguing to look at and the photos shot so close add to that, but I'll stick to seeing them in photos... in person, I will run the other way from ones that look like these :o

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I can't find any spiders in my digital cameras or equipment.:D

9th February 2011, 04:39 AMFleshpistonRe: Post your SpidersWhat a stunning spider! Great shot. Looks to me like a Austracantha minax : or six spined orb weaver. Lovely colours / colors on them. Have a look here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ednieuw/austra...araneidae.htmlQuote:

Some great photos popping up keep them coming!!! -

I really like bugs also but some other Arthropods (spiders) really disturb me, probably because I have been biten so many times.
When I find some of my bug shots I will have to start a thread for them.

10th February 2011, 02:12 AMGeorgeMRe: Post your SpidersYeah, I lump them together, tho I know it's not scientifically accurate. I've only been stung by a wasp or two. Just an annoyance for me, luckily.Quote:

I have a nice Redback (Black widow) at work that I am currently plumping up. They are dangerous but not that bad. If you are healthy you should be fine after a bite. The old and very young are the ones at risk. In Oz at least, no one has died from a bite for a long time. Anti venom is readily available and not always necessary. Redbacks (Black Widows) have been known to dry bite. Only the female is dangerous. I will post some later next week of the female I have here.

Allow me to introduce a friend - or, rather friends, of mine - I've been fortunate as the heliotrope in my front yard has become the home of several generations of green lynx spiders over the last few of years - it's been sort of facinating to watch the life cycle of this beautiful spider

I do enjoy these spider and other small critter pix.
Here's a sequence taken at the beginning of last year when we were staying on Stradbroke Island (Australia). I saw the female Golden Orb Web spider sitting in her web and took a number of images. It wasn't until I loaded them onto the laptop that I saw the small drama that was enacted.
There she is minding her own business, when along came Tom. He's the tiny one creeping up behind her.

Getting closer - may be on a promise here....

Here she is, clearly looking back beneath her, right at him. "Don't think I can't see you!"

He thinks the better of the matrimonial attempt and runs away.

@Klickit - nice series. The size difference between the male and female is amazing.
@kimber - nice. I especially like #2.
