Spider Dance

I went back to the place where I found my "cool black spider" yesterday, but he was nowhere to be found. However, I found two more who were doing a pretty interesting tango when I discovered them.

This one is for Jason Daniels. They're not jumpy spiders, but the Mr. was doing a pretty good twist!

@bobfoto Not one, but two spiders for you. But NEVER any snakes.

[Maggiemae]

Are they fighting? The old fashioned fight with lances etc

[Dixie Goode]

They are so vivid against the contrasting green. Maybe the black one is right there, lurking in the shadows

[Kerri]

Beautiful

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! I think they were mating.
@pandorasecho Thanks Dixie! I looked for him but if he was there he was really well hidden.
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!

[pauline briges]

wonderful

[Caroline]

Yeek. Cool angle.

[Jake]

awesome capture

[Yao RL]

Their colors are pretty intense, look like cooked crabs resurrected.

[Rick Schies]

They stand out nicely in that lighting

[Roe Jan]

It's hard to focus on things like that when they're moving all over the place. Good job!

[Timothy]

nice, great dof, love the diagonal line

[Sally Ings]

Nice one! Love the lighting

[Jason Daniels]

something is in the air, seen quite a few spiders dancing like that lately...

@daisy Thank you Kathryn!

[Mrs. Smith]

This is a great photo...but sorry...the spiders are ICKY! eeeck!

[summerfield]

there's a camera settings challenge going on right now and the theme is 'natural bokeh' like this shot. starts today so you might want to stalk more spiders outside the house. :-) http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/18676/new-theme-csc-30-natural-bokeh

Oooooh..... ewwwwwwww... eeeeeek!! Heebie Jeebies!! But great catch. The detail is excellent. It's good enough it made me get goosebumps just looking at it!! You are brave!! I cannot stand spiders! Nice job, Ann! :)

@mrssmith203 Thank you Carla- yeah, I'm not crazy about them. I took this as a joke for Jason Daniels.
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! I have all I can do to keep up with this Try 4 July word list and those crazy mad minute words! I'm starting to lose track of all these challenges- artist challenge, wwyd, tag challenge, and so on! And actually, I'm not really a huge spider fan. As mentioned I just happened to see these two when I was looking for mushrooms and the black spider I'd seen the night before. So I took a shot of them as a joke.
@prttblues Thanks Bev! I'm not a huge fan either and I really didn't specifically go looking for these- just happened to spot them in my quest for something else.
