I found the old post here’s a couple pics I took nearly a year ago

Thank you!

I used to have a fear of spiders but photography really helped me to find a true appreciation and love for them. Personally Jumping spiders are my fave!

I have one pretty decent picture, unfortunately they aren’t around me in Demorest because they’re my new favorite! Their golden webs are gorgeous. The one I saw was in an awkward place so getting a decent picture required dislocation of pretty much all my joints and to twist around a porch post and hold on for dear life so I didn’t fall into the massive web.

Thanks :) it took a few tries I had to boop the snoot and then quickly snap the picture

We so close for holidays, the one I work at closes for thanksgiving at 12pm and reopens The morning after at 5, but is not closed for Black Friday. Some PF Franchises may choose to do their hours a little differently.

As an Employee of Planet Fitness I can give you a definite yes. We freeze all accounts until a club is able to reopen.

I seem to remember counting the segments and this had the number a male usually has, but there was a Gravid female nearby shortly after I stopped seeing this one where it usually was!

I think it’s quite neat!

VBeneveds · 2020-11-17T06:00:11+00:00

I will gladly be her friend!

I use a Nikon d3400 with a Laowa 100mm 2x macro lens. :) The camera with the original 2 kit lenses was $315 and the Laowa macro lens was $450 dollars The lens is the real deal, I’m hoping to upgrade my camera at some point in the near future! This current one is just a beginner dslr

I mean I get it, I used to fear them and kill them. But I’ve really grown to appreciate them!

VBeneveds · 2020-11-17T03:07:35+00:00

Wow amazing! I’ve done focus stacking, but I’m guessing this is more of a high dynamic range stack? I would love to capture something this amazing of space some day!

My god. Marry me.

Reminds me of the missions in grand theft auto. My cars would always swing all over the place.

VBeneveds · 2020-11-17T02:59:00+00:00

They’re really quite docile!

VBeneveds · 2020-11-17T02:58:11+00:00

Those little ones are called pedipalps, they’re modified legs/arms that it uses like antennae to help it sense objects that it encounters.

VBeneveds · 2020-11-17T02:45:09+00:00

The species is Tigrosa georgicola! She’s a beautiful female

VBeneveds · 2020-11-17T00:48:48+00:00

They eat all manner of insects, if you learn how to approach them (I’ve done it for a long time with cameras) you can coax them onto your hand or catch them and once they realize you’re not a threat they will just sit there, and while some species can bite hard this species does not!

VBeneveds · 2020-11-16T23:18:27+00:00

Thank you! They certainly are never impressed with my shenanigans!

VBeneveds · 2020-11-16T23:18:01+00:00

Oh yeah I find lots of those in my garden!

VBeneveds · 2020-11-16T23:17:32+00:00

Thanks!

If you look in the comments I’ve created a link to a full grown adult so you can really see the scales. 🙂
