A wolf spider and a hunting jumping spider. In the last shot the spider has caught a springtail which has sprung :) .

    Any tourist can get a snapshot of a lion in Africa. It takes dedication and hard work to get a good photograph of a lion at the moment of taking prey.

    I can't even find any spiders, and if I could I couldn't begin to get shots like these. Then to top it off, you get that "kill" shot. Brian, you make it look so easy. I'm continually gobsmacked by the critter images you and other accomplished macro photographers post on this forum.

    Thanks for the comments :)
    You can always tell when one of these has a kill - they run away from you even more than usual :)

    Where do you find all of these?
    Of the many hours I have spent looking at the ground, I have only run across a wolf spider once. I don’t think I have even seen a jumping spider.
    As always all of these are great…but I like #3 best. The viewpoint shows more of the spider’s body (it looks as if it is wearing camouflage). MM
