Now THAT's a good picture

Some random pics I have taken. The last one is from the Gran Turismo Photo taking bonus. It apparently was not a very popular feature, but I had a lot of fun with it.

I hope UrJack passes by this thread again...

I have an old porch/breezeway on the back of my house that is falling apart. I am probably going to tear it down at some point. But for the time being, I just let the Spider populace flourish there and damn do they know how to make abandoned structures their home!

While I was outside grilling a steak, I took the camera out to catch some of these 8 legged baddies. This is only an inkling of how many live around my house. I dig spiders, they tend to keep the ants away from the house, amongst other pests. My basement and attic are riddled with webs.

Hey, those are some nice pictures. Crisp focus, reasonably high resolution, better than most people can do with a regular point and shoot camera. How many shots did it take to get a good one of those little guys?

Insect/arthropod photography is kind of a hobby of mine... though as much as I like every other kind of bug, I must admit that spiders still inexplicably creep me out a bit.

I have a folder full of 268 jpg's on my computer (I just checked.) Here's some of my better ones. (Many of them are too big to post here.)

A bumblebee on a thistle in a park near my house:

A bee (I'm pretty sure she's a mining bee in the genus Andrena) coming out of her underground burrow.

A water strider walking on water:

A Mourning Cloak butterfly I just shot a couple weeks ago: (The Mourning Cloak is my favorite butterfly and I've always wanted to get a photo of one)

A cool katydid I found sunning on a path last fall:

A VERY lucky shot I captured of an Immigrant Green Leaf Weevil just as it was taking flight:

And, lastly, a jumping spider for Urjak.

Oh yeah, and also the click beetles in my avatar and sig are from my own photos

I've got some little spiders out where I live, not bigger than -|.....|- that, and I can't identify them.

Thanks ^_^ I took it with my crappy phone camera, so I was pretty amazed when it turned out like that.

On another note, yes your picture is huge. :P
EDIT: but it isn't anymore :D

SPIDER PORN!

You'll have to read a lot of science to figure it out.

Hey Clickbeetle, look what I found today. This guy makes a sqeaky sound when frightened, it seems. He seemed kinda weak, are they all sorta lazy like that?

Reier · « **Reply #33 on:** July 18, 2009, 02:36:01 PM »

Can you make it a bit bigger? I can't see it.

I just made it smaller, I sense sarcasm lol

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #35 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:15:07 PM »

I could be wrong... but that looks like a Roach.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:36:44 PM »

Oh yeah, didn't think of that, probably is

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #37 on:** July 24, 2009, 02:10:41 AM »

That is most definitely not a roach, it is a Longhorned Beetle, I'd say in the genus Prionus. They don't bite and they're not pestiferous so there's no need to worry. Nice find; big beetles like that are cool.

Reier · « **Reply #38 on:** July 24, 2009, 09:58:32 AM »

I found some big beetle about 2 inches long when I was about 6, kinda looked like that beetle without the antenna. And it had fairly large horizontal mandibles. Aaaand it bit me. =P Then it got loose in our house and probably died and we haven't found it since.

I have no idea what it was, and I haven't seen one like it other than that.
