I nuked him

[klguy]

This lil itsy bitsy spider is almost 1.5 cm long, from back foot to the front foot.

He's so transparent, that after flashing him, I can see his backbone and stomach sac !!!:0:0

Could only shoot his under thorax section, as he built his web next to the link fence. You can just make out the chain-link fence in pix 03.




01 - check out his bones and stomach sac

02 - OMG - he's got armpit hairs....

03 - In the glory of his web

ps : pix 01 and 02 shot with SP90 plus Hoya +3 closeup filter, pix 3 at 1:1 with just SP90 only.

No cropping, just curves, usm and re-size for the web.

Thanks for the comments.

Honestly I don't know the id. I only became seriously involved with macros after I got my SP90 around Jan 2008, mucho thanks to a donation from Magnum. :P

thats a very uncommon shots that I see for spider. Very nice and the luminated leaf and a slight part of its legs gives a nice effect to it.

Good stuff!

That's the weirdest spider I've seen... especially the side profile.

I had it too :D

but not seem to be focus well on that one .. another failed picture.. let me do some pp on it :D

[klguy]

Yep, this is a very common spider. See it almost weekly in my garden, loh.

But this guy loves dark dark places, so it's hard to spot.

[reds]

Yup, this spider is quite common and usually found in wet area. But don't mistaken with another species- L. celebesiana whose abdomen is not as spectacular. Hope klguy wouldn't mind me posting a sample of the other species here. Note the abdomen lacks the curve of L. decorata.

Nice shot, Reds.

BTW you're most welcome to add on : I'm always interested in seeing other people's shots. If not, how then to learn and improve.

And yes, your species can be found in Bukit Gasing. Lotsa there.
