Found this rascal scooting up along the side of my house today
the back markings kinda looks like the Banker in the Monopoly game? lol

He was an ugly cus, probably as I was to him?

and yep, took him by the string and let him over by the tree line, just off the house!

Awesome pix Gary!! That's a Marbled Orb Weaver! :thumbup:
Thanks for not killing it. :cool:
 
Thats a cool looking spider, orange is a great colour for a spider :thumbup:

I'v got one of the biggest orb weaving spiders I'v seen in a tree next to my house just now.
If it moves its web I'll snap a few pics, the things a ruddy monster :eek:...:D:thumbup:
 
Gary, those are great closeups.
Plus you have an eye. Not many folks would have noticed the spider to begin with.

Thanks for posting those.
 
I wish I could photograph a knife without it being blurry. Great shots. I was trying to catch/release a jumping spider from my truck today, but he was too territorial to move. It became a very fast spider.
 
I have a good camera, but those are some excellent pics.

Pumpspider, or spiderkin, or jackospider, or spiderlantern.
 
it seems like a lot of knife guys would make good photographers. i would give it a try if my best (and only) camera wasnt my g1's
 
Thanks guys, one of my favourite pics I took a while back was of a small
very small spider, his back was raised and there was a face on it, like the
painting of the scream;

Thanks guys, the Orb Weaver was shot with my Canon G10 point and shooter camera
does a decent job on macros, had to keep moving about to catch the different angles.

Amazing photography Gary!!!!!
Did you take those pix free hand or with a tri-pod?
I love little buggers like that, especially spiders, and that orange one is beautiful!!
I would love to add your photos to my critter file!!!
Would that be ok with you?
 
Awesome! I love spiders and all sorts of creepy crawlies. They're fascinating to watch. That's the worst part of the weather getting cooler for me- no more critters to watch crawling around outside.
