Just flipped over after molting, one can see the carapace is still transparent between the rows of hair. Color saturation untouched. ~ 3 3/4" but I will measure once it finally stretches out.

Cooperative dragonfly.

3 3/4" DLS

Recently molted, 3 3/4" DLS

Thanks. It is a pretty color, big improvement this last molt, can’t wait to see how it looks after the next molt.

Thank you. Especially challenging when the little thing was in constant motion, running and jumping around, jumped onto the camera lens several times. :)

The 100 mm lens gives you 1x, the Canon MP-E65 lens gives you 1x to 5x mag so up to five times larger. However, no focusing, no image stabilization, and depth of focus is even more shallow.

Brachypelma boehmei, 3 1/2" dls

Great photo!

Lyssomanes viridis, ~ 5mm diagonal leg span, tiny little thing.

Fantastic photo!

A second Lyssomanes viridis, this one's legs are all intact. ~ 5mm diagonal leg span.

It lost its front leg, can see the emerald green hemolymph clot. The dark retina could be seen actively moving behind the large main eyes, a pretty crazy thing to see.

Magnolia Green Jumping Spider, Lyssomanes viridis, ~5mm diagonal leg span, found on a Fatsia plant this morning. Adult males have huge chelicerae, not sure if this is a female or if their sexual dimorphism isn't evident when they are juveniles. This species is known for having a moving retina.

3" dls.

Sorry, 3" dls.

Grammostola pulchra, 3" DLS

My little 3/4” B boehmei walled itself into its burrow and stayed there for 7 months before molting and coming out to eat. Oddly enough it molted again in about 5 weeks, didn’t even skip a meal, molted the day after eating.

was out again when I came home from work this evening. Until the last molt she was quite reclusive, now she's turned into a party girl!
