Hi, While walking to the top of a small peak at You Yangs park i found this jumping spider, it is a known but unnamed female species from the Saitis family. I like the emerald eyes and heart pattern on the booty 😆, it also has a rather angry face 🤷‍♂️ . I believe its common unofficial name is...

Hello, I have been in hibernation during winter here in Australia and busy with work so no post for a while, now that spring is here I have been out doing peacock spider spotting with my brother @Chavezshutter . I have a few hundred pics of 5 different Maratus species, males and females...

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I've posted, the cold season here was rather uninspiring and I had slowed down with my photography especially since lockdowns have been going on over here. Anyways, one positive thing has been that I can now travel within the 10km limit to local parks during...

I think this little guy is a Phlegra bresnieri juvenile male but not completely sure. Handheld single shot with Olympus OM-D em10 MIII, Laowa 50mm supermacro lens, Meike MK320 flash and homemade curved diffuser.

Here is one shot made this afternoon of a Phlegra sp. juvenile about 2.5mm long. I've selected this one because, as she was cleaner her both eyes at the same time with pedipalps, she looks like playing hide and seek. Original size

Witnessed this little jumping spider taking out a fly double it's size, managed to get this pic of him showing off his kill, vicious! lol

Here is a fresh new photo made this afternoon at home. As always hand held single shot with Olympus OM-D e-m10 mark iii, Laowa 50mm supermacro lens, flash Meike MK320 and homemade curved diffuser. Real size photo.

Hi All, This is my first post. Still learning the ins and outs of Macro shooting. But hopefully will soon share more and more shots. Found this little jumping spider on my fence, there seems to be quite a few that live around here. So far I think I've seen 3 different types. They're great...

Hi, Practicing some jumping spider shots before my Grampians trip. Found this male jumping spider in my front garden. This specific species of jumping spider I have become very familiar with, they are very abundant during the warmer months, the females are much more difficult to identify, they...

Herevis a photo of a male Phlegra bresnieri in my left hand.

Good evening everyone. It's been a while since I posted (or took) any photos. Mainly because of the fall weather that we have here (rain for 2 weeks) but also because the temperature is getting really cooler, my favorite subjects (insects) are rarer. So tonight I present to you a young female...

Here is a very old photo (2015) which I took with my first camera, a Nikon D3200 and the reversed 18-55 kit lens. I used the internal flash and a plastic cover clipped on the lens bottom. This photo was taken during holidays on Mauritius island. A very common jumping spider there. His name (yes...
