Araneomorph (True Spider) Picture Thread

[Arthroverts]

Or opilione (also called daddy long legs) as they are often called in the hobby. These are indeed not araneomorphs but a related arachnid from the order, you guessed it, Opilione.

Thanks,

Arthroverts

I've been playing with this microscope camera a lot lately, and while the focus is a pain and a half to work with it's been really fun working with on spiders that are smaller than my pinky nail, or even so small they look like dust. Plus a leopard slug cause he looked cute.

Went on a nature walk today. I've always loved these guys, I'd see them building webs in the vines in my back yard.
DLS .5" to 1"



This is from the same park but a different area.
DLS .5" to 1"



Found a couple of these too. No idea what it is, but my girlfriends first reaction was "Watermelon" Spider. I liked it.
DLS .5"-.75"

The first two are wolf spiders (Lycosidae); they typically don't build webs but hunt on the ground.

The "watermelon" spider is an orchard orbweaver (Leucauge venusta).

This was taken at most 2 weeks after the last Orb Weavers I posted, but from a different area in Missouri, USA.
I was walking after my group and happened to see the Jumping Spider grab the Orb Weaver and land on a leaf right in front of me. It of course immediately starts going to the underside of the leaf, big ol camera lens is suddenly shoved right in it's face I wonder why.... My friend flips the leaf over and holds it steady just long enough for me to get a few shots before the Jumper fled with it's prize. In the end I was able to stack 3 Photos together to get this picture. I might post some of the other Individual shots later to show the differences but they would be rather blurry.
