spider

I love these guys when they come indoors. I can set them up in my home studio setting and discuss life's events. Afterwards, they are returned to where I find them. This is "silly" a friendly spider that lived in our back bathroom for a few weeks before Winter settled into our area.

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...

A manual focus stack that worked out well to show the fabulous opisthosoma markings.

Hi, I have posted this little spider before, it is my favourite peacock spider species I have found so far. I find these at a wetland reserve not too far from where I live in Melbourne. They like to live near a type of coastal succulent which has bright flowers and attracts many insects, these...

Common peacock jumping spider - Maratus Pavonis

Hi, I managed to get nice and close for this shot on this spider which I shot 2 days ago, quite lucky as these are the most skittish and smallest of the species I have found so far, they are about 3-4mm long. This jumping spider was the first species of peacock jumping spider recorded back in...

Hello, This is the second species I have been lucky to find so far this year, it is a more colourful and more of a "traditional" peacock in terms of colours, hope you like it

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...
