Praying Spider

Awais Yaqub

Looks like it is praying (just changed the angle to make it look like)
Looks like he is begging for peace on independence day of Pakistan(14th aug)



And then he started his meal




This was very small spider (Id ?) used reverse lens on Sony h5
btw i tried ruler it takes 4mm on it on full 12x zoom and it's sensor is 1/2.5 like most of ps cams so what is 1:?? :scratch

Good Series Awais 4mm that's quite small indeed!
I particularly like that last shot.

It's great when you can find a spider with its catch .... Skippy

Awais,

A 1/2.5 sensor is 5.760mm(W) x 4.290mm(H). If you are talking about 4mm filling the width of the image, I think that means an image magnification of 1.44:1. (5.76mm/4mm = 1.44)

Can someone confirm or correct me?

Lovely shots Awais
It's a male spider - the big (praying) palps at the front are used for signalling and more importantly to transfer sperm to the female- spiders do it by hand

Happy independence day to you, Awais!

The last shot is my favorite. Great catches and it looks like you're really getting the hang of the macro thing.
