As in Phoneutria? It does not look like one, but definately a "wandering" spider of some sort, no webbing, just hunting.

Thank you for the comments!

Very impressive pictures of a beautiful country! I LOVE Argentina, it is probably my favorite country in the world besides Australia and New Zealand.

As a fellow Photographer and lover of Argentina, What Camera and Lens did you use?

Thank you for the nice comments. I agree, Argentina is amazing! I cannot wait to go back.

On this trip, I had my trustworthy Canon 50D, the lenses were a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8, Canon macro EF 100mm L and the Canon MP-E 65mm macro

The crappy pics like the goats were just taken for fun with a crappy P&S, sometimes I am too lazy to change lenses on the DSLR.

Take care

Martin

Hey all! Just got back home from a quick field trip to Chaco & Corrientes provinces trip ;)

Martin, really great post! I like what you wrote about the trip. I'm happy that you guys liked Argentina and everything went great in our trip. It was a pleasure to me, and can't wait for the next one! I must say that for a 1 week trip, the diversity of habitats and animals was pretty damn good!

And thanks to you I've learnt some good macro tips! Always fun and educative to go out with fellow photographers.

No, I cauata is only supposed to be in the northern part of South America, ie Colombia/Venezuela, it should be Ischnothele annulata down there in Argentina.

Great picture Tarcan!
