But never mind, i always have lots of photos from recent files. Hmmm i wish to find some shots for Nature Notes. When i am looking for butterflies my attention is always for them, but when only a few of them show up i have attention too for other entities including spiders. However, i seldom know their names.
a common jumping spider, Salticidae species
A lichen spider guarding its egg sac, it is supposed to be outside with the lichens but probably gallivanting and was trapped inside the bathroom. So it just stayed there with its egg sac. It has been there for two weeks. Pandercetes sp. (Sparassidae)
A spitting spider (Scytodea sp.) carrying an egg sac . I don't know if they get prey even while guarding their eggs. If only i have time to spare, i will watch them spitting on their prey.
a colorful Opadometa species
This is a very common resident of my hoya flowers, a crab spider. Very seldom will a hoya umbel be without it. They are hiding there to ambush bees and butterflies that visit the flowers.
My first time to see this one, i think unique for a spider
Nephila sp.
Neoscona theisi
The owner of this web is very small hiding at the back of the central object, pretending they are big.
I still have lots of spider photos, but i can't seem to see most of them when there's the need. I am posting these to the Arachnophiles Group in FB to know their names. When ready i will put them here. Thanks much!
Such a nice series of spiders, they all look different from our spiders and not scaring at all. When I think of tropical conditions I always think of big, hairy, dangerous spiders, but of course I know this is not true. First photo is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy, and this is not even intentionally trying to find them, they are just there in front of my eyes so i might as well take their pics. And there are still a lot out there! I am glad they are not very big or else it is a very scary world.
DeleteIf the spider with the bright orange cephalothorax is indeed a jumper, I'd be damned!
ReplyDeleteCool photo of the scytodid!
You just have to correct me if something is wrong, i am not familiar with spiders' names.
DeleteOh, a spider post! I love them, although I prefer to find them outside. ;-) They're definitely important in their ecosystems, and they're fascinating to watch.
ReplyDeleteYes Beth they are helpful in the garden, but because they are so plenty i get some of them and throw them to the other areas, they are nuisance sometimes. And also i several times saw them eating the butterflies, hahaha!
DeleteYou've shown us some interesting spiders.
ReplyDeleteThanks much Martha for the visit.
DeleteWow! Amazing shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lady Fi.
DeleteThe wonder of nature so much species so little but also so different. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteSo many and it is just this month, besides i don't really intentionally looked for them.
DeleteSo many different spiders and some very pretty ones too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit.
DeleteWow, a great selection of spiders. The photo of the jumping spider is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThanks for appreciating at least one of them.
DeleteHello, what a great collection of spiders. So many different species, I like the first jumping spider and the crab spider? They are all beautiful photos, well done. Enjoy your day, have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is only for two weekends, and not even intending to shoot them, just serendipitously seen them during my garden chores.
DeleteI am not normally afraid of spiders, but I found myself looking at these and being thankful they were in my computer and not actually in front of me!!! What a stunning variety of arachnids - thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what a wide variety of critters!
ReplyDeletehehe yes I know there really are people scared of them, but when they are in photos, and as you said in the computer only, they are cute! You know what! I am scared of very soft-looking larvae!
ReplyDeleteI love this post and all the information. We have little jumping spiders in the house. I leave then alone..Michelle
