Due to the cold all the interesting bugs have gone into hiding. I found these guys at work. I think #1 work really well. That must be her egg sac.

    Great Shots!
    I really like the first one. The colors are so rich. Thanks for sharing. MM

    Good shots - they are wolf spiders. Not boring at all :)- You are correct the female wolf spider carries her egg sac around with her and when the spiderlings hatch she carries them around on her back. They are very interesting to watch during the mating season. The male comminicates with the female by Semaphore waving it's front legs and palps around.
    Spider shots looks more interesting shot from a lowish angle as in #2 and always try to get the eyes in sharp focus- the front legs don't really matter.

    I am using the classic barqs rootbeer can diffuser with Kirkland Signature paper towel gel pack (80sheets/roll). But in shot #2, there was some direct sunlight thus the sharp shadows.

    Hopefully I get some kenko tubes for christmas.
