I assume then, Opera is letting you upload files and photos at the moment?

Thanks Brendan. I only got two or three shots before it got fed up with the flash but it was perfectly positioned on the rose bush. I went heavy with the noise reduction to kill the background. And yes, I can upload at the moment.

Wow! Well done, brilliant :up: That really is one of the best pictures of a spider I've seen.
@Brendan – I had issues uploading my teaser grizzly picture on Sunday. It was coming up with an error message. I eventually got impatient and uploaded the picture to Photobucket, and just linked to it in the post. However, I haven't had any trouble since.

Aah, still trying to upload and Opera won't let me. Sigh.
The two things I really like about this photo are the hairs and the detail. This shows off the two styles of setae beautifully, and I'm hard-pressed to think of any professional shot of a spider that has done this as well as Words here.
The other is the epigynum joining the two main body parts is shown in all its glory. That this minor anatomical detail can be shown, makes this a very good illustration (at a scientific level, not just the aesthetic).

I did do a double take a while back when I saw what appeared to be a black widow scuttling off in my house :eyes: But it turned out to be a boreal cobweb spider (a false widow). I'm not sure if it's still here, but I saw another one at the top of the front door frame yesterday and it had an egg sac! Fortunately it was outside.

Darko, yes it's on the web. And it's female (see previous comment)!

Mickeyjoe, always a risk with photos of spiders. I'm fine with them in the garden, but tend to use the glass and cardboard method to remove them from the house.

You got me googling there… setae=hairs. I see what you mean. Just googled the other bit of technical speak. So it's female! Interesting to learn more about their structure. I know very little of the science of what I photograph but am slowly learning. Thanks!
