This Big, Beautiful Lady Loves my Garden

Hangin’ in the Garden The other afternoon I went outside to do some chores, and didn’t get very far because I stumbled on this gorgeous girl in her web hanging between two blackjack plants. As I stated earlier this week, the blackjack is attracting all sorts of pollinators and insects right now, so she had her web is a great place. In case you don’t recognize her, she’s a yellow garden spider…

Lynx Spiders are Great Predators Just Like Their Feline Namesakes

An Unusual Lynx Green lynx spiders (Peucetia viridans) are beautiful little green spiders that hunt by hiding in either flowers or nearby vegetation. They wait for other insects to come to the flowers to feed and they pounce on them, grabbing them with their long front legs and quickly biting them to cause paralysis. So far this year I’ve had a lot of good luck finding spiders with their prey.…

Regal Jumping Spiders Can Be Big and Colorful

Regal Jumping Spiders Can Be Big and Colorful features a beautiful specimen of a regal jumping spider that the author/artist recently encountered. It explains why she like jumping spiders so much, and especially regal jumping spiders.

Very Regal As you probably know, I love spiders and I’m especially fond of jumping spiders. We have quite a few types of them around here and I’ve photographed many of them, but whenever I see one I still have to try to get its photo. One of the most impressive types of jumpers is the regal jumping spider (Phidippus regius). In my opinion, the most amazing things about them are those big,…

The Spiny Orb Weaver is a Colorful and Beautiful Spider

The Spiny Orb Weaver is a Colorful and Beautiful Spider explains the author/artist’s thinking process while creating tonight’s image.

Black and White and Spiny I hadn’t really done anything artistic lately, so I decided to play around with this photo of a spiny orb weaver spider (Gasteracantha cancriformis). My original plan was to make some changes to the colors of the spider itself, but after I had done my basic editing I really liked the colors of the spider as they were. So instead of changing it’s colors, I decided to…

Adorable Little Jumping Spiders Can Be Found in Odd Places

Eyes in the Dark It’s not necessarily unusual to find little jumping spiders in small hiding places since they’re another ambush hunter. I’ve found them between boards in my fence, in cracks in tree bark, and underneath any number of things, but this was the first time I ever found one under the overlap on house siding. I was taking out trash at my office and caught a glimpse of movement. My…

Colorful Mabel Orchard Orb Weavers Can be Great Hunters

The Spider and the Ant Probably the most common spider that I see on my property and in the surrounding woods is the Mabel orchard orb weaver (Leucauge argyrobapta). I love their amazingly colorful abdomens, and being orb weavers, they spin fantastic, complex roundish webs that are usually very successful at capturing prey. This particular lady was out in my yard, and when I found her she was…

Beautiful Twin Flagged Jumpers Can be Friendly Little Spiders

Jumper Frequently after work I go some place to take photos. Sometimes it’s the woods behind my house, sometimes it’s out to Cedar Key to watch the sunset, and sometimes it’s the yard around my office. One evening I went out into the yard to get rid of some trash in the dumpster. While out there, I noticed some pretty little flowers and went to take photos of them. While I was shooting, this…
