spiders The Kill

The food chain. Can anyone ID the spider?

Excellent capture!

I have no idea of the name of this spider -I tried Araneus, but seems not- but your shoot is absolutely incredible. All my compliment for your always exceptional work.

Hi Mark ;). It's a crab spider (Thomisidae), probably Ozyptila praticola (check species list of this genus in your local guide). Nice capture.

Excellent Quality. I never would have guessed a 2x TC w/ this lens at f22 could produce an image this good.

Wait - oh s&^t! let me be clear...Excellent job on YOUR part! The lighting, DOF, and optical quality (part I was surprised at) is first rate.

 

Cheers, Keith

I don't think I've ever seen this particular part of the food chain before. Great job capturing it.

talking about being in the right place at the right time...congratulations

Well caught. You certainly captured how uncomporomising life can be at the macro level.

Blecch!

 

I like spiders and I don't like yellow jackets, but this actually bothers me. It's also a terrific shot, perfectly seen and exposed.

Intersting episode.

capture - good eyes - good timing - [sorry but PN failed my rating]

Another awesome shot by the master himself.

excellent macro

Superb capture of this Spider, only I wish dear Mark that the overall is more contrasted/saturated!!! and some details are lost!?!?!

I had to look closely to see who was having dinner and who was on the menu. That is a very bold spider.

I really think this is a great capture. Pictures like this are so illuminating.
