Very cool!!!!
I absolutely LOVE the little jumping spiders (don't know their real name). I can sit and watch them for hours.
Another one I love is the large brown spider that lives in the wood pile and carries all her babies all over her body.
So how do you get those nice, clear close-up shots? Do you use the zoom feature?

I just held the camera right up in his face. This is a little tough because,of course,they run around to the opposite side of the stem to hide. Got a few of a bare stem with a spider leg barely showing on the sides.LOLemysemys said:

These pictures should be in National Geographic. Wow!!
Great shots keep em coming 
Those are amazing! Spiders are so cool when you can get a really good close look at them. Very cool!
We call those wolf spiders cause they're so hairy and HUGE. I had one show up on the kitchen counter one night as I was going to bed. I tried to shoo her into a cup so I could take her outside and she took a running leap off the counter. Sploot! When she hit the ground HUNDREDS of babies came off her back. I felt so bad. So I finally got her in a cup and put her and the remaining babies outside. I just left the little ones that fell off. I figured they'd sort themselves out if they were gonna make it. I still feel bad about it.
