Congrats on the versicolor sac!! Nice photos as always!!

 

[Shrike]

Just saw the pics of the ritae slings. Nice work! I just picked up my first Cyriocosmus and I love it. It's incredibly rewarding to successfully rear something so tiny (although I have a long way to go).

 

[advan]

hehe Nice!

I've actually finally figured out a way to brighten portions of the image without clipping the colors! Much better now.

Details?

:biggrin:

Too bad she's not big enough for my (formerly your) male... Because 2 (or even 3) sacs would be better than 1! he he

It would be nice! Considering she was responding to the male P. miranda tapping in the cage next to her I think she is ready but I'd rather wait a molt or two! Good luck with the sac!

Good luck with the versi sac, Chad! Great pictures once again !

Thanks Jan and David! What, no love for the P. pulcher sac? Have Brett and I burnt you guys out on them?

Thanks Matt! It's an awesome genus!

The Cyriocosmus ritae have started to molt to 2i! I'll need a Raynox to get any decent pics of them! LOL

 

[papilio]

Sheesh, about time you make life easy on yourself with a Raynox! hehe
Beth took my reversing ring back home with her, I hope she's more comfortable with frustration than I am!

Details?

Using the layers in PSP, duplicate the layer you want to brighten and blend the second one down using 'screen' mode, adjust the top layer's opacity to suit (I usually put it at about 40%). This brightens strongly without blowing out the highlights.

Yeah, I couldn't wait for it to try and get some specimen shots of the C. ritae slings! I had to bust out the reverse ring for the first time in a while!

Cyriocosmus ritae w/ 100mm @1:1

w/reverse ring

They didn't grow much from the last molt!

 

[papilio]

Those are beautiful Chad!
I honestly don't know how you get that thing to work the way you do! :?

 

[mcluskyisms]

Those Cyriocosmus ritae are win man, I don't know anyone who doesn't love that species, really hope my female moults soon as the males looking on his way out!

Thanks Michael! It wasn't easy, it took me awhile to get used to it again. LOL

It'd be hard not to love them! I hope your male lasts for you! Good luck!

Lampropelma sp. 'Borneo Black' in need of a molt. Any one have a male?

 

[papilio]

Holy poop your L. nigerrimum has grown!! She's SOOOO beautiful! I've been wondering when we'd see her again.

 

[advan]

Yeah she's grown a little. Maybe next meet that's at my place?

Tapinauchenius subcaeruleus

Those are some gorgeous Lampropelma gals you got there man! Awesome shots of the L. nigerrimum, they're such a beautiful species!

Great new pics!

 

[Alltheworld601]

I am tempted to just ship you a bunch of my spiders so you can photograph them. >.<

 

[Trogdora]

The C. ritae are sooo cute! I love tiny spiders.

The Lampropelma are beautiful as well, I look forward to when mine are that size... everything grows so slow around here though.

Some of your best ultra-macros yet!
How common is it to see 1i spiders already when you open the sac?
