As many have said, this is a great scene, but I'd sure like to see the spider isolated in another shot! :(

I'm guessing "spider in the dew" but you might be right. Big powerful jaws on this momma (the palps much larger on the male). Great POV as already mentioned.

How unusual. Very nice. Perfect sharpness of fly against a gaussian background.

LOL @ shabsslg! That's not a baby dragonfly on the back, that's another specie altogether who's found a convenient landing pad! Anyway, great closeup, with dynamic colors!

All the bird books show the Anhinga being limited to the Southern states but I have seen one up near Drummond Island, Michigan and my aunt has seen them near Grand Haven. Interesting birds. As has been said already, "Great shot!"

I had to deal with these critters out in Rialto, CA. There was a garage crawling with them. This appears to be a kind of skinny specimen. The real madonnas get a chunky butt about twice this size Anyway, great shot... the only prob. with matatur's suggestion is the tighter you close down on your f-stop (higher number) the more exposure time you'll need therefore you're going to need a tripod because the motion from holding the camera in your hands will also blur the entire picture, not just the legs!

A Gulf Frittilary if I remember correctly. I've seen them from Atlanta to Los Angeles. Nice shot here... hope you helped him out of his predicament in the spider's web.

They say these little jumping spiders can eat 40 fruit flies in a day. A lot of women would smash them just for being a spider. I like to hold them and watch them jump from finger to finger. Great closeups... I'm impressed with my F717's macro, but it's nothing compared to this! These are great shots!

Wow. Interesting if not exhaustive article on the chickadee. The only fault I find is with the numbers. I think I have 123,000 of them on my bird feeders at any given time. They gang up on the goldfinches and chase them away. Only our hardy chipmunk will chase them off on his daily visit. Oh, great pic too--excellent detail, etc.

Nice catch. He seems to be checking you out, and vice versa.
