Dinner Is Served!





I went back to my spider filled bush with my D50 and extension tubes, it was getting dark and the flower pictures I took did not turn out. I need more light to make sure the focus is right. I got lucky and this guy or gal had dinner land on its web. The bottom picture is just after the very quick pounce and I'm sure paralyzing bite. After moving away for a moment, it came back and moved its dinner in front of it lair. Bon-appetite! I need to get my children to catch some grasshoppers and pill bugs etc... I wonder how creepy they will look? We can always give them to Henry when were are done. Some levels correction.

This is more of a spider than I ever wanted to see! Must be a pretty powerful lens to get that close of a picture. Pretty amazing how the other bug just happens along....

Wow! Although I dont like spiders at all, these are great macro shots!
