Posted by Mary-Nona at November 21, 2011 09:52 AMThat is both disturbing (due to my fear of spiders and their ridiculous legs) and insanely cool! Great capture!

Posted by Tomek at November 21, 2011 03:56 PMThat is a shot I would have liked to shoot :-) Amazing!
Posted by Frida at November 21, 2011 05:23 PMimho: that's the "mystery" of photography :
you see more "world" through a viewfinder
(with or without a macro lens)
And after some practice even without a camera.
But only if it's not too tiny ;-))
The large (here) yellow spider is a misumena vatia, but I don't know what the small one on its leg is. I was lucky on several occasions to photograph a misumena vatia, one yellow and one pink.
Your muse has led you well once more. Great shot!
Are they on someone's skin? cool photo but Eww x2
Posted by lulufar at November 22, 2011 06:38 PMI believe its the Male Misumena Vatia. The males can be less than 25% of the size of the female. If you get a disproportionately large female and a disproportionately small male... Males can be less than 3mm in size... and females can be larger than 9mm.
Dunno, but I'm betting.
