These were taken one night in my backyard. I had someone shine a flashlight on the spider so I could get sharp focus. The spider is a little smaller than a US Quarter. All taken with the Panasonic Lumix FZ20 and a Nikon 6T closeup lens. Also used a Sunpak 383 with Stofen Omnibounce diffuser with the head angled at 60 degrees to shine the light from above.
