Description

Nikon 7900 pocket camera - hand held image. I have seen quite a few of these Green Lynx spiders lately. They are one of my favorite spider species primarily because they are very territorial. The same spider usually live their entire lives on just one plant so that makes them easy to document. They are also great hunters and are not overly skittish. They seldom abandon their plant even after putting up with me and my camera, lol. This one has captured a male Eastern Amberwing dragonfly but is struggling to get it where she wants it. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

Wow~ How big is that spider? If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe the spider caught a dragonfly. Fabulous photo.

Great shot Lee... I really like the composition. Interesting that the front section of her body looks almost translucent, like a gum drop as opposed to the rear section which is opaque. Very well done.

I hate it when I go to the store and buy something and then they tell me they don't have a sack big enough to fit so could I just carry it out to the car the way it is! I hope this spider puts in a complaint! LOL Great shot and, my! do you think his eyes are bigger than his stomach? :-)

This is another science textbook shot, Lee. Have you thought about marketing these excellent insect macros?
