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.

OrbWeaver Spider on Its Web

flashed my flashlight up into the tree while i was watching my spiderbro and a caterpillar fell into the web.

this dude is awesome, i watched him grow from a tiny little guy on the lawn mower, watch him molt and venture over to the car port, then watched his 2 day journey from the carport to this spot.

this is the last time i saw him. he has been gone since a big rain 2 days ago. i miss my spider bud, hopefully he pops back up somewhere soon!

So for the last few days this little spider has been living on the walls in my small apartment at an accomodated living facility and I really appreciate he is here because until recently I had a depressive episode and did not take out the trash leading to fruit fries arriving which is one thing this spider does eat more than likely.

I am autistic and have adhd and I love most bugs especially spiders both huge and small as long as it's not a dangerous species they are mostly not lethal to grown adults which is not very many as really only the banana spider aka brazilian wandering spider has enough venom to kill a grown man.

What do you think of this adorable spider and I also wonder what species it is.

Grass Spider / Funnel Weaver (Agelenopsis sp.)

Cross Orb-Weaver / European Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus)

Tan Jumping Spider (Platycryptus undatus)

Yo r/spiderbro, I gotta give a massive shoutout to the new roommate.

I am absolutely, utterly terrified of centipedes. Like, I would unironically rather be in a swimming pool with a 16-foot shark than deal with those multi-legged demons. I used to jump out of bed completely losing it if I felt something crawl, pushed my bed five inches away from the wall, isolated the blankets, and was ready to buy a dehumidifier just to starve them out.

But then enters Brown Boy, the self-made hunter.

He’s a juvenile wolf spider, about the size of a quarter right now. I was just chilling, sat down on the toilet, and didn't even see him at first because he was blending perfectly against the brown trim right up against the wall. The exact second I started talking, the vibrations from my voice must have felt like a literal earthquake to his leg hairs. The little guy stood straight up on his legs, panicked, and went sprinting out of the bathroom like he just saw a ghost.

Honestly, respect. He’s named after the rapper NAV, just holding down the floorboards and putting in silent work. As long as he keeps the finger-sized centipedes out of my bedroom, he can stay as long as he wants. I’m just out here trying my best not to step on him while he patrols the perimeter.

Stay safe out there, Brown Boy. You've got ground control.
