Early breakfast · 02:46 AM

At least it was breakfast time in my country when I had this shot

Nom nom nom.

Argh, what a creepy spider! Kind of fascinating, but still scary. Great shot, really got the focus right to show off all those details.

Very nice shot of a strange looking creature.--charliezap

slowpez · 10-25-2012, 07:13 AM

That is one scary looking critter with all those spines sticking out. Wonderful detail in the image.

tessfully · 10-25-2012, 07:20 AM

Wow, super macro. I have never seen a spider with thorns; very cool!

bluestringer · 10-25-2012, 08:39 AM

Very nice macro of the green lynx spider. They are very common here.

GeoJerry · 10-25-2012, 10:13 AM

What a cool shot! Demonstrating again how weird and wonderful nature can be. What the heck are all those spikes for on the spider's legs?

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 10-25-2012, 11:47 AM

That is a real nice macro, thanks for posting it.

That has to be one of the coolest-looking spiders I've ever seen! I think with my 35mm macro I'd have to get entirely too close to get that kind of shot...

azerak · 10-25-2012, 09:14 PM

I am not exactly sure the use of the spikes but they sure are intimidating especially to the smaller insects.

This is a male yellow lynx spider, from what I have found from this The Find-a-spider Guide - Lynx spider

I dont think you can use the 35mm macro for this. I used to use my 50mm macro, and had to go real close to my subjects. I dread to think how close 35mm would turn out if I were to use it.

Thanks for all the comments!

Nice shot, I like it especially showing it's breakfast. I did capture a very similar looking spider minus prey in Thailand early this year. Nice that someone can identify it.

Another good example of good DoF use. Nice work.
