About Taken in the back yard a few days ago, this is a Rufous Net-casting Spider. Apparently, this spider creates a postage stamp sized web which it holds with its two front legs. When prey crawls or flies past, the spider quickly drops the web "net" onto the prey and its dinner is made!

A fantastic portrait of this spider, Mervo! What a spooky face!

They pay guys thousands of bucks to dream up scary creatures for sci-fi movies and all you have to do is go down the back yard..

Ew, I hate spiders, and this picture reminds me why! They are so creepy looking! But you did an AWESOME job with this picture! It's awesome how clear it is, and the coloring and lighting are all looking perfect! Excellent work, and good eye!!!

An excellent macro with a very informative about.
Great job Mervo!

PS Just finished watching the directors cut of the original "Alien" Maybe that's why this one caught my attention. :)

Have a great Holiday week!

Wow, awesome shot! I hate spiders, and close up they are pretty gross too - but I absolutely love this! You did an excellent job with this: the lighting, coloring, DOF, it's all just incredibly well done! :)


Mervo     {K:8562} 8/19/2009
Hey Rachel! Thanks for the nice comment! Yep this one's pretty gross close up - it was a cloudy day so the lighting sorted itself out, as for DOF - well my old nikon manual focus macro was spot on - they don't make them how they used to!
