...waiting for the sun and for prey ...
Look at this impressive crab spider (Misumena vatia) sitting on my peppermint-plant no matter that it's raining for almost one week now. It's a small spider, only about 10 mm, the males are only about 6 mm.

If you are interested, there is another shot on TL, please look here.


I have to say sorry, I haven't been here for some weeks. We changed our computer-system in the bank and I had to work more hours than usual and also at the weekends. Now my power has gone and I'm happy to sit at my own computer at home and relax while looking at all the wonderful shots of all members here.

I hope you also like my little friend here, thanks for looking.

Hi Sabine,
An excellent shot of the Crab spider. Perfect focus, sharpness and details. Those eyes look like golden beads. I liked the POV and the water droplets clinging to its body.
Thanks a lot for sharing it.

Smitha.

Hello neighbour, beatiful macro with pin sharp detail. Lovely post.

Regards Mark :)

Hallo Sabine,
Wow! Again wow! Wider Wow! Waht an amazing focused and detailed shot is this! How did yo do it! I admire! I like so much a little water drop on the frond leg of spider. Fill flash is a super idea to take as nicely. It looks very terrible. Like rushes out from an horror film. Bravo and congratulations.
Grüsse :)

Hello Sabine,
With all the rain you're having I'm surprised this one gets any food at all. There's certainly a great shortage of insects in our garden! Your macro is really great, razor sharp showing amazing details, especially of those little eyes! I like the droplets too in this fine composition.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hello Wishnu,
Superb spider image and one of the best I've ever seen.
What a great close-up macro image this is.
Technically flawless with perfect sharpness, lighting and clarity due to wich details are fantastically beautiful.
Wonderful color tones of the peppermint plant and drops of water on the spider, of wich the bigger drop in between the legs work light a perfect magnifying-glass.
Awsome work and a great joy to look at.
Thanks for sharing and the good note.
Glad to have you back among us.
Have a nice Sunday,
Harry

Hello Sabine,
Strong close-up, the details are almost shocking!
Pin sharp and great colour reproduction, well composed presentation!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hallo Sabine,
ganz wunderbares, glasklares Supermakro. Atemberaubende Details, eine eindrucksvolle Tiefenschärfe, und eine delikat unterkühlte Farbpalette. Hier werden Regentage zur Freude!
Ein wenig denke ich bei dieser Spinne auch an jene überzogenen Arbeitsperioden, die uns immer öfter überfallen und aufzufressen drohen. War selbst lange Monate in ähnlicher Lage - und entsprechend selten auf TN. Nun geniesse ich es, auf ein paar Wochen ein wenig zur Ruhe zu kommen, und ich wünsche auch Dir gute Erholung und genussvolles Betrachten der Natur.
Mit Dank und schönen Grüßen,
Peter

Hi Sabine,
This is fantastic! Amazing detail in this close up macro of the crab spider. Definitely a favorite. :)

bonjour sabine
wow,j'etais passé a coté de celle-ci.
le fait qu'il y est des gouttes d'eau rend cette image encore plus parfaite,surtout avec le reflet des fleurs dans la goutte qui se trouve sous la patte de l'araignée.
magnifique.
