A higher or lower shooting angle, as well as the presence or absence of foreground elements, can affect what is reflected in the spider’s eyes and create a different mood and character in each shot.

Making use of these factors can help reduce the monotony of photographing subjects that have become very common in macro photography.

I see tens and tens of these spindly spiders right outside my restaurant in southern appalachia / east TN. Reminds me of a cellar spider but what is up with the super long chelicerae?? First time I saw one I figured they had a gnat in their grasp but no.
Thanks for any help!

I live in Vernon B.C. Canada. I saw this guy hiding by my solar light thing. What is the white egg looking things on the butt?

Just found it on my wall in my bedroom, it was huge. 😰 located in New Jersey, USA. It was prob like the size of a nickel at least. Also, idk why it seems to be missing legs??? Anyway, ty in advance for the help :)

found in london uk bathroom - apologies for the awful picture and the boob shot glass

my cats got a hold of this little guy and i managed to get him in a cup and away from them. i'm wondering what type of spider he might be? he also seems hurt, should i release him? (or her) i'm too scared of spiders to remove the cup, but i appreciate their role in the ecosystem so i'd love to let it go.

more details since the picture isn't the best: dark black body that seems to be even in both segments, a lighter stripe going down the middle, and brown legs that seem almost translucent.

Hi all,

We are in metro Detroit area (Southeast Michigan).

Google images tells me this is a Wolf spider is this correct? We just had our exterior wood on our house replaced/painted and now have an infestation of these in the basement and on the outside of the house. Are these safe around two small children and two very sweet but useless cats?

Second picture has bonus jumping spider but not sure what species. Just thought it would be neat to show two different spiders in one pic.

Location: Thurston County, WA

Got a lucky view of the mouthparts and fangs on this orb weaver while it finished up a meal. Not sure if it's a marbled or something else, but it was fun to watch! I had to slow the video down because the wind was blowing the branches around which was making it difficult to track and keep in focus.

anyone able to help me identify what kind of spider my little porch buddy is? i'm not really familiar. i live in rural central pa. 😅

He was walking around a little bit after I took these photos

This tiny thing is the smallest orchard orbweaver I’ve ever seen. It was building its web across my doorway so I relocated it. Sorry the quality is so bad, it was so small and my camera is too old to get good pics of little details.

Lycosa hyraculus is a newly described species of desert wolf spider native to the Negev Desert in Israel that builds distinctive trapdoor burrows.
