Brilliant macro photograph of a fly ribly, beautiful enough to approach



Even lovers who keep spiders as pets say that even the same kind of spiders are totally different faces and they are naming them, but when you look at the ups with macro photographs, it is certainly an individual You can see that each person has a very unique face.

Oklahoma StateThomas ShahanMr. ShotFly TRingoMacro pictures capture the face of such sparkling spiders in a very beautiful and vivid color. Even a person who is not good at spiders looking at with the naked eye may be surprised as "Watching the nearby eyes had so beautiful eyes"? (However, it may be better to watch out for people who are not really good at it.)

Details are as below.Jumping Spiders of Oklahoma - a set on Flickr

Phidippus mystaceusAdults of females.


Face up.


Further approach.


Phidippus putnamiFemale.


Phidippus piusFemale.


According to Mr. Thomas Shahan, among other flies, femaleMaevia inclemensIt seems that eyes are often colorful in many cases.


The same individual as the above picture. It seems that part of it seems to be red due to retinal movement, not reflection. Because it is a small spider with a total length of 5 mm or less, it may not be noticed unless it is a macro lens.


Oklahoma StateRedbud ValleyShot at the natural parkParaphidippus aurantiusMale. It is said that the female of the same species was eaten by the female immediately after taking this picture, and the appearance that this female is caught by the female after predating the cricket isVideoBut it is open to the public.


PhidippusA female of princeps. The color of eyes seems to be different not only by the reflection and lighting of the surrounding objects but also by seeds and individuals by naked eyes.


The color of the center eye and the outside eye is also quite different. As you approach, you can see that the weave of the shirt worn by the photographer is clearly reflected.


This is also Phidippus princeps, but it is different from the above picture. The four eyes shown in this picture are called the Anterior Median in the middle two and the Anterior Lateral in the outer two, but they have a total of eight eyes in the same way as other spiders, including those not shown in the photograph I will.


Species are not specified, but individuals of females about 3 mm in length. Can you see that there is also a small eye on the right side of the eyes at the left end of the photo? The placement of the eight eyes of a fly fishThis siteIt is illustrated in an easy-to-understand manner.


Hentzia palmarumMale.


Phidippus audaxFemale. There are many spiders with greenish eyes, but in this picture the Anterior Median looks blue and the Anterior Lateral looks almost like black.


This is also a female of Phidippus audax, an individual different from the above picture.


Platycryptus undatusMale.


Also a female of Platycryptus undatus.


The species is not specified, but a male of about 5 mm in length. Shahan 's guess is that it is about 0.5 mm between the two Anterior Lateral (outer eyes).


Thiodina puerperaMale.


Habronattus coecatusMale. Mr. Shahan, of course, has taken a lot of whole body photographs.
