Male Lyssomanes viridis again. A much better shot than the one before. I'm glad I found him again.

His chelicerae are super crazy long.

Oh I love this kind of spider, they have the most amazing eyes.
they can look in different directions at the same time, and you can even see that in this picture.

As always, excellent work.

South Carolina.

These happy fellows tend to range as far west as Texas and as far north as Virginia.

Ahhhaaaa. I suppose that makes sense. I love up in New York. Long Island. We don't have anything particularly interesting here. ;-;

queue ~queue

Photographer

Well, New York has some scary stuff too, I know fishing spiders are abundant there and they can be a bit intimidating. Maybe not on Long Island though.

The south is really where it's at when it comes to abundance and variety of creepy crawlies. :)

He is so pretty! Lovely contrast in that spider's colours... How big is this handsome fellow?

queue ~queue

Photographer

17 years ago

His body is maybe about six or seven millimeters if I recall correctly, although his legs and enlarged chelicerae give him a much larger appearance.

Wow, so delicate and tiny... You get some awesome close-ups. *thinks you must have a sweet telephoto lense...* He's a beautiful spider.

My Camera's a Canon digital Rebel XT as well (just looked at your specs). The telephoto lens I have must be a lower end than yours...

queue ~queue

Photographer

I'm using the Canon 100mm Macro lens (it's made for closeups like this).

Sweeet... *is a bit frustrated at not finding a price listed, but drools anyway* Neat idea- inner focusing so you don't have to fiddle with the focal length- that ALWAYS kills too much time for me, and I often end up losing a sweet pic 'cuz I'm not fast enough. *is very inexperienced with tech things like cameras...*

queue ~queue

Photographer

I think they list for about $500, but you can probably find one cheaper. The focal length is fixed at 100mm.

*eeps, expected a high cost* I'm am unfortunately poor. Maybe my KaniS will consider helping me to get one. He likes my attempts at photography.

They definitely have a more expensive macro lens...but this one provides pretty great performance for the price.

You get a lot of bang for buck with it. :)

*drools rather ineffectually* Heh. I'll have to see about getting one. I really want to be able to do some up close and intimate pix of some of the wonderful wildlife that I see on trips with KaniS.

whee, beautiful example of an itsy-bitsy spider the size of SC! :)

I have once photographed a male house spider made in germany, but in a (dirty) glass, because he would have crawled off in no time. :)

queue ~queue

Photographer

He's actually quite a little guy. :)

There's no way he can compete with Tegenaria duellica, which I'm sad don't live here. :( They've taken root in Washington state though. They're quick too I hear. :D

Of course, SC's biggest spiders even make the large European house spiders look small. :P

Anbessa ~anbessa

Anthro Artist

no doubt about that. although we grow 'em pretty big for middle europe. :) I once have encountered a house spider which was so large she would have had her legs hanging over my hand if she sat down flat. :) and I have glove size 10...

Yeah, I've seen him. I even commented on the one. :)

They're probably some of the largest spiders in Europe outside of a few wolf spiders and tarantulas.

http://bugguide.net/node/view/75174 The imports only live in a small slice around Seattle.

Anbessa ~anbessa

Anthro Artist

16 years ago

oh yeah, I forgot, sorry. :)

tarantulas luckily live somewhere warmer than germany. and what we call wolf spiders are the size of a thumbnail. and fast as hell. :) they even hurl themselves across puddles to hunt. :)

queue ~queue

Photographer

Yeah, the larger Lycosids and Tarantulas tend to hang out closer to the Mediterranean.

So just giant house spiders for you. :D

if I recall right, the spider I found was about that size, but darker in colour, almost ebony-black with greyish markings. this was in 93, so my memory might fail me. it was reasonably fast and non-aggressive, and I could feel it's weight. :)
