Dec 24 2005: Spiders

[tchuanye]

Its been a quite awhile since I took some pics.....poor weather, busy at work, but manage to squeeze 1 hr to shoot today just below my block. Guess was abit rusty as many shots turned out poor. Saw some spiders, and I think the Jumping spider is the same as Vonvonz recent post......not sure which Jumping spider species though. Took a brown crab spider too.

Appreciate any comments!

#5: Spider thread
1/125s
This is a poor shot, but like to post here as you can see the spider thread at the rear being inserted into the air....it does this in the hope that the thread will be blown by the wind, and the other end will hook up to another pt among the bushes....once it connects.....it will climb across the thread to the new leaf! Saw that happening...I mean I did not see where the thread landed, but saw it crawl across the thread to another leaf....very interesting.
