Macro All about very tiny, very hungry Spiders

All about very tiny, very hungry Spiders · **2 Likes**

This leaf of a red-leaved Mayday Busch is about 3-3.5 inches long, Just to show you how tiny these spiders are. They spin a web from edge to edge to partially cover the leave and wait underneath it.

Comments are always welcome and appreciated

An excellent detailed series that tells a story.

Fantastic set of pix... it is amazing what life looks like viewed from a smaller scale perspective. Thanks for sharing too!

Wow! That spider sure knows it's business!
That you even saw it is pretty impressive.
Good shots.

Nice series Heinrich. Captures scenes of nature we walk by every day but rarely see.

Thank you kindly, actually I do go looking for the small creatures, spiders and whatever else lives in the small woods around here.

Thank you, unless one goes looking for it you'll never see it, it is just too tiny.

Awesome and frightening (in a way) shots!

Very nicely done, the light (or processing) is perfect on those. Nice details, thanks for sharing.

Your work fun to see because it's so interesting and well executed .

Very interesting entomological series—perhaps one of these will make its way into the July photo contest?

Thank you for the kind comment, the light is from diffused build in flash.

Normally I loathe spiders (anything with more than 4 legs, actually

) but that is an amazing series, Heinrich. Very well captured!
