Hi my Tn friends,
today a very small spider with attractive colors :)

Araniella cucurbitina
• embranc. : Arthropoda
• s/embran.: Chelicerata
• classe : Arachnida
• ordre : Araneae
• s/ordre : Labidognatha
• famille : Araneidae
• genre : Araneus

The spider pumpkin is a part of the smallest representatives of spiders linen weavers. Females reach(affect) a size(cutting) of 7 mm and the males(mates) of 5 mm max (what gives for the belly one diameter 2 mm).
During the coupling, the male(mate) waits patiently for the good moment, and as soon as the operation took place, it runs away not to serve dessert in its beautiful. In August, the female will have produced from 1 to 2 cocoons. The young, of red color, will appear towards the end of the summer, they will take their green color of camouflage only in the next spring.

You are the master of framing, Gaetan. All your photos have matching and very interesting frames. I have to learn how to do that.... ;o)

Besides that this is an excellent macro photo as always from you. You have been able to make nearly the whole spider sharp. Subtle and fine colours adds to the artistic impression.

Hello Gaetan,
These spiders are really experts at hiding in the right places, here among the round buds in matching colours. I hate to see them catch butterflies!:-(
Great sharpness and natural colours in this very fine capture.
Many thanks, Ulla

Bonjour Gaetan,
Magnificent macro!
I like so much the sharp and clear detail got al all over, not only on the spider but also on the flowers.
Th textures seen on the insect are amazing, with that tiny hairs on their legs.
I think you made a very good and balanced composition here.
Felicitacions et merci du partager.
Mes amities,
JM

Bonjour Gaetan,
Tu as très bien photographié cette petite araignée citrouille, surtout si l'on considère sa taille. Aussi le texte qui accompagne l'image est-il bien écrit et avec de l'humour, ce qui est aussi apprécié. Merci et
Bonne journée
Anne

Hi Gaetan,
Beautiful shot, with brilliant colours and excellent compsition with the spider framed heading to the centre of the shot. Everthing seems to be spherical in this shot making it very aesthetic and pleasing to the eye.

Hi Gaetan.
Excellent close-up with sharp details and beautiful colors on this small spider.I like very nice composition with good POV.Well done,TFS.
Best greetings Milos.

salut gaetan
pour etre sûr que c'est un mâle il fait regarder si il a un zizi!
tu l'as vraiment super bien eu en tout cas parce que c'est vrai que ce n'est pas bien gros comme bestiole.
felicitations.
laurent

Bonjour Gaétan
La prise de vue de ce beau macro est tres belle avec une jolie composition, très nette, très "pure".
les couleurs et les détails sont superbes.
bravo et merci du partage...JP

Hi Glem,
The spider is beautiful as far as the picture goes. Lovely colours, sharp and lots of detail. Not my favourite 'friend' but a very colourful one.
Good DOF, TFS,
Regards,
Peter

oui c'est vraiment mini comme araignée, je crois que c'en est une ici, il m'aurait fallu un escabot pour l'avoir en aussi gros et coller l'objectif sur le nez de la bestiole vu mon matos, la couleur et les details sont parfaits, bravo !
amicalement

Very well composed, great placing of subject and nice use of space.

Hello Gaetan,
Amazing macro. Exposure perfect and outstanding details. You had a great POV for this one. Very nice!

Salut Gaétan,
C'est une excellente macro de cette belle espèce d'araignée. J'aime bien les détails et la brillance que tu as capté sur l'insecte. Son environmement et la composition sont hamormieuses et tu as également bien exposé la couleur blanche ce qui ne devait pas être évident à faire. Bravo!
Claudine

Excelente. Me gusta sobre todo el enfoque cabeza-torax. Los colores del resto completan un extraordinaria fotografía. Buen fin de semana Gaetan.

Hola Gaetan,
Se me había pasado esta belleza de toma, la nitidez es extraordinaria, la luz y el color muy bellos. Saludos
José Ramón

I like very much this one. Besides the wondeful details see, I think the composition is excellent on this one, vegatal colours and textures compliment the spider perfectly.
Best regards, Felipe.

Parmi toutes tes (le tutoiement est permis ?) magnifiques photos sur TN, celle-ce m’a attiré tout particulièrement. La texture du corps de l’araignée est superbe. Les détails et le degré de netteté sont extraordinaires pour une macro d’un si petit sujet. Malgré la présence des pétales blanchâtres, l’exposition a été parfaite. Bravo, Gaetan.

Good shot. Excellent sharpness and details.
