I'm not sure what spider it is, maybe a sheetweb spider, they're pretty common around here.

Found on the underside of a potted pepper plant in north-western Germany.
Very lively for a spider. It moved in a way that made me think it could see me and react to to my presence.

I've no clue what spider it is. I couldn't help but feel like I was a Kaiju to the poor thing.

Delete if it's not the right place but does anyone know what this spider is? I opened my garage door and it scared me wife. Sorry about the quality, i had to run out of the garage and take the photo zoomed in (it looked around the same size as a huntsman and looked bigger than the normal spiders we get around here)

I was scouring for critters and saw this little one tucked between some leaves.

I watched quite a few jumping spiders walk right up to a bunch of bugs and they paid them no mind. They didn't hop or fly away. They didn't try to defend themselves.

I'm fairly sure this spider is in the Philodromidae family of crab spiders. Maybe it's in the Ebo genus, but I don't dare guess the species. I could also have this ID completely wrong. Any arachnophiles can feel free to correct me. I found this little dude on an apple tree.
I took this with an OM1 and 60mm macro with 26mm tubes.

I was birding again and stumbled upon this little jumper on a developing acorn. I swapped to my macro for the close ups, but my telephoto did pretty well for those zoomed out shots. "Eris" is the Greek goddess of discord and strife. "Militaris" is Latin for "of a soldier" or "military", so this spider's name is "discord of a soldier" which is pretty badass imo. This spider wasn't too interested in the many tiny beetles that walked right up to it. I was hoping I could get some action shots, but alas.

A species of wolf spider that's common here. These little arachnids are quick crawlers. They hang out on rocks and ambush their prey, closing quite the distance swiftly, webs not required. I didn't stick around to find any feeding, another time.

Cute little Buttonhook Leafbeetle Jumping Spider that did not want to sit still for a picture. It kept moving around to the other side of the stem when I got close lol
It was super cute 💚

This is my bark lynx spider friend. I call her Bump because she looks like a tiny bump on my tomato cage :)

I wanted to try some focus stacked macro shots and this is probably the best of them. The stack is 7 images, 1:1 macro.

Unknown species. Lives in unused coat-closet. Hallway light is magenta for dramatic effect.

It's freezing here and there are definitely no bugs around for this fella. What should I do to make his stay a bit more pleasant?

25mm square tubing for scale.

Is “husk” the correct word? Discarded exoskeleton?
