Baby spider army is coming for you!

My car is covered in these little blighters, scooped some into a glass to get some shots. Taken with the EF 50mm f1.8 and tubes. Next lens is a macro lens!!!









These really are tiny, you can see how small they are in comparison to a jumping spider here (I think they were going to ambush him ):

Aww, look like baby Orb Weavers..

They're very determined, the glass was vertical and they were making that ladder trying to get out! They were released back into the wild shortly after by the way

I think they are just garden spiders, we get a lot of these in the garden: http://www.eurospiders.com/Araneus_diadematus.htm

RUN AWAY!!!!!

Very nice and creepy, what is the jumping spider sat on btw?

The jumping spider is on the car tyre, so that's the tread. That one was taken with an 85mm f1.8 and tubes. I've been looking for a jumper for an absolute age, this one crept further into the tread where I couldn't see him, so I tried to tease him out and he jumped off into the wind! Aarrgh!

I thought it was tread, macro photography never ceases to amaze me. Great shots .
