Colorful predator by cjwhite

Colorful predator

She made me jump today, because she jumped when I first came near. It took her awhile to come back out. The camera in her face doesn't seem to bother her, but sudden moves do. :0)
amazing details! she sure had interesting markings

Superb image --love the sharp details !

Wow, she is a beauty! Wonderful capture of her. I had one in my yard a few years ago and she made a nest and a few weeks later all these little babies hatched out. It was amazing

Oh..I love him!What a stunning creature and beautiful backdrop.Great shot.

WOw! She is lined up perfectly over that "crater!" and she is gorgeous. I hope I see some lynx spiders soon. Is there a secret or any tips you can give me? This is a fav for sure.and, Is that queen anne's lace flower?

@espyetta MaryBeth, I'm seeing them everywhere this year. I've seen them on the wild blackeyed-susans, milkweed, and Queen Anne's Lace. I'm worried that I'll lose them all, If my neighbor decides to cut my hay field. I really want to see another egg sac hatch. :0)

@cjwhite I will have to go out walking after school...lots of QAL near there. I hope to find one!

Your neighbor can NOT mow that field! You must stop him! haha

This is such an extraordinary shot, Carolyn. What fantastic detail you caught here. Would love to see one that close. Really impressed with your work.

I've just chased one of these guys around my table, hoping to get today's shot. If it comes out half as good as this one, it will be a cracker.

@bobfoto Thank you, Jason! I wish my pics were as good as yours!
August 5th, 2013  
@espyetta It's my field, but I let him have the hay. Maybe I'll put something around a couple of the plants they are on to protect them. :0)

@cjwhite That is nice of you..but yes, you must save some of the field. I hate mowing my lawn now, especially at the lake. I let it get longer and clover is everywhere. And when I mow, I see bugs and spiders and moths and b flies scrambling for cover. I want to say "sorry for doing this" and go get my camera..not keep mowing.

I never imagined thinking a spider as beautiful but I have to admit that if I get over the squeamish factor, this really is beautiful.

It is pretty, and I don't like spiders too.
August 5th, 2013  
That is one awesome spider
August 5th, 2013  
Love this! She is pretty!
August 5th, 2013  
your little friend is cute.
August 5th, 2013  
I see danger in the coloring. Is it poison?
August 5th, 2013  
@sabanford No, it's not poison. The colors are for camouflage. I've read that it's rare for them to bite humans. I hope it's true! :0)
