    Your opinion? Photoshoot with new unknown jumping spider

    Hi, Today while shooting in my front yard I found this spider on my brother's car. I still need to research its species. It is completely different then the jumping spiders I normally photograph.

    Hi, I found this Jacky Dragon basking in the sun while walking some coastal bushlands near Rye a few months ago. It did not care at all about me and my camera and got some great close ups but I thought i would show it in full first, hope you like it.

    Your opinion? Orange Spider Wasp (Cryptocheilus bicolor) Rye, Victoria

    While on vacations to a nearby beach I saw this beautiful wasp. It is about 4 cm long and it was hunting. It's movement I can only describe as a bee on crack cocaine or some other heavy drug. Very erratic stop and go fast movement, jumpy and very aggressive, it would not sit still for a...

    Want critique Australian Bronze jumping spider 2 (older photo)

    Hi everyone, Here is another photo of one of my house buddies. I was using a rather harsh LED light on the right side but it did give him a nice reflection with his eyes. Single shot handheld, 90mm + extension tube, image is cropped down. This photo is about 10 months old when I began to take...
