The best quality I'd ever seen! Thanks!

I was going through the wood pile taking out the actual wood. I found a brown spider with like redish/purple color legs...and it was the size of a dime..wanted to know and see pictures of spiders so that I can know what kind I have in my yard and if there dangerous or not. I have one kid who has friends coming over all the time and 2 dogs. Have to be safe.
Nancy 06-Dec-2007 04:34

what is that spider with bumps
akursah 03-Oct-2007 09:08
They are not tomato. They are parasitic mites. They suck others animals blood.
Guest 30-Sep-2007 21:10
Why does one have tomatoes on its back????
Guest 25-Sep-2007 19:49

Great pics...make my skin crawl!
M. Plonsky 10-Feb-2006 04:19
Walker- There are 4 harvestman spiders on this page so far. One is covered with parasitic mites, one is eating a mosquito, and the other two are just portraits.
WalkerMence 09-Feb-2006 18:41
It would be cool if you got a Harvestman
Your family member 09-Feb-2006 18:34

Nanushka 25-Nov-2005 07:33
Great this is just what I was looking for. Its very nice! SA

I love your images! I'm an artist and Naturalist (entomology-oriented) with the City of Seattle in Washington. I've been looking for recommendations of moderately priced digital cameras that will take extreme closeup shots of Tegenaria spp. and other spiders. This is the best website I've found in 3 hours of searching. I'm inspired and informed--Thanks!

I just found your site thanks to a friend, and your photos are amazing. I have been trying Macro Photography now for a year. I use a Canon 10D with a Sigma 105mm EX DG Macro. I've gotten some cool shots, but very few of this overall quality. I can't believe you get this kind of detail out of the "Canon Powershot". You sir are a professional in my book.
burndog 03-May-2005 02:02
all I can say is awesome, some of the best, if not the best "bug" images I've seen, with such clean interesting compositions....Bravo!
Artisjon 05-Dec-2003 00:05
Great stuff Mark!

Saved me from spending the rest of the day surfing the net for quality pics.
I have many books in my library showing insects, but i wanted to get closer
for my research.
Keep up the great work!

Cozmikd, thanx for the kind words. They are only fun when they are alive. I am in Central WI, USA.
cozmikd 23-Aug-2003 18:16
I read your macrophotography tutorial and the answer to my question was there. Nice setup you have, simple. I love macro photography and will look into a setup similar to yours; bracket, flash kit, and I need to find my old Pentax screw mount lenses so I can reverse mount mine as well. Now where is my Pentax SP1000 with those lenses? hmm
cozmikd 23-Aug-2003 18:03
Nice. Are these live spiders? Where do you live to have this variety of spiders?

Good work.
