Cute Crab Spider for Tobers.
Finally found a spider that wouldnt run away.
While out toady and digging through the leaves looking for springtails i found this very cute little crab spider. I have alot more shots to process as i made the most of him. Will post them later. Enjoy.
Slight adjustment to curves in CS3, no sharpening applied.

Re: Cute Crab Spider
not my idea of cute! what is it standing on? its amazing to see the hairs so well on a tiny creature such as this. That really is one crazy lens. I just love to look at your threads!

Re: Cute Crab Spider
Your shots just keep getting better 
These guys are not IMO quite as cute as jumping spiders with their huge eyes, but a close second. Pleased to see you got over your "spider block".

Great shot with great detail.

Cheers Holo

Re: Cute Crab Spider
I'm not sure I'd call it cute! But I would call it fantastic. Brilliant detail once again Allie.
Cheers.
