Not the mama!

This Green Lynx spider is the mother of this brood, but she's not the female I've been keeping an eye on for two weeks. I found this female today in the honeysuckle vine. I felt like she was watching me, which was a little creepy! I thought about using my kit lens set on macro, but I just couldn't talk myself into getting that close!

Extra credit points if you remember who said, "Not the mama!" :0)

Thank you so much for visiting my project! :0)

Oh, my goodness--no way in the world would I have gotten close to THAT. Great shot. And, sorry I don't have a clue who said, "Not the mama"

[❀ Lynn]

You have such a good eye to have found all these broods! You are more than close enough for me. Great capture.

[Kathryn Marshall]

Fantastic capture. Great details. I would not have gotten any closer to this mother. She looks like she is ready to pounce.

[Al Perry]

Very nice shot. They are the neatest looking spiders.

[Lyn]

Whoa. . .what a brave woman you are.

[Rick Schies]

Wow, I cannot believe those spikes on her legs.

[Jo Ann Bellone]

[Robin]

Oh, wow, she's got her eyes on you. Great closeup.

[Livia]

That's a beautiful shot! They are quite protective of their little ones. 8)

Wow, you're so brave! She looks really protective! And didn't that quote had something to do with animals that are extinct now?!? ;-)

[Milanie]

Fabulous! I can't find even one of these guys and here you are with two. That's keen eyesight! You are wonderful with these shots. So perfectly detailed.
