This little one was enjoying the sunshine.

K-3 and the wonderful 100mm 2.8 macro WR.

A couple of views of jumping spider cannibalism. Well, I guess since they're from two different species, it's not quite cannibalism stricto sensu, but close enough...

Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 WR plus HD DA 1.4x and Raynox DCR-250, with Godox AD180 off-camera diffused flash. The first is a single frame, and the second shot is a nine-frame focus stack and is reposted from the Flickr Explored thread...

Awesome work Pascal.

Thanks! Been feeling a little bummed out about photography lately, so the encouragement is much appreciated. Here are a couple more spider shots from last weekend...

There more going on in the first image, but on-the-money focus of the second image make it the winner.

A web covered in morning dew and a bright sun give away this spider's location.

This guy was "hanging out" on my window pane so I couldn't use any flash.

Ok, some scary ones now from 'down under' <gulp>

A huntsman protecting it's young;

Infrared 'Net-Casting' spider;

A shot of the red back of a Red Back spider

A huntsman once again;

A teeny tiny Jumping Spider on my green wheelie bin outside my home;

A huntsman in a flower in my garden;

Another Jumping Spider;

"The Orange-legged Swift spider or Nyssus coloripes is one of the fastest spiders in Australia. While running, it waves its two forelegs above its body, mimicking the two antennas of a wasp.
The front two legs have a brown tinge. Male and females are identical and their length varies between 5 and 7 mm.
This species is closely related to much larger Supunna albopunctum (7 -12 mm) but this spider has two rows of white dashed spots on its abdomen.
In autumn and winter the females construct a flat very white disc shaped egg-sac of 5-6 mm. The spider feeds on ground dwelling insects and spiders."

And finally a St. Andrews Cross Spider, shot from the underside;
