Another critter that dwells on the black eyed susans. Obviously this is an extreme close up, the actual size of this spider is about 1/4 inch across.

About Me
- John Theberge
- I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Here's looking at you! Amazing shot!
I agree...very amazing!! I do love these little jumpers...even if I'm not a big fan of spiders! I am learning to get along with them tho! Thanks John!
Oh my! What amazing eyes! I don't think I want him to jump on me. Terrific shot!
They are so cool looking! Very well captured! Cheers, Klaus
That is scary looking. Another super fabulous photo.
Excellent picture! Love this creature close-up!
Hello John
This shot made mme shiver. Spiders are not my favourite critters! To think that Jenny (Wren's nature notebook)and I used to grab them out of their webs when we were young to examine them. This guy has got beady eyes!!
Brrrrr, Adrian
Awesome shot! All those eyes and hairs.... (shuddering). I'm trying to think of the last time I've seen one. It's been a while.
Stunning shot John. I not a fan of spiders either (thanks for reminding me that we used to catch them with our bare hands Adgi!), but this one I think is lovely. It's the big black long legged house ones that get me shreiking!
Wow. I can't believe the magnification of that shot: that spider's eyes are fantastic.
LOL love the little face.. wonderful shot.. thanks for sharing
I almost didn't look at this post based on the title. But I thought lets try it and the macro of this image really doesn't make this spider give me the willies like some images do. I never thought I would say this about a spider but he looks sort of cute in the picture in real life I would probably be screaming for my husband to come rescue me from the spider.
WOW! This is a fabulous image! I'm not big on spiders AT ALL...but the way you've captured him makes it almost bearable...almost :)
