    Default Insect photography: Rapid Wolf Spider

    These like to come in the house sometimes. Here's one trapped in my bathtub, they're big but harmless.

    Taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ8, tripod, and a strategically placed household lamp. LOL

    Looks nasty! Looks like a drawing, too. Thanks for sharing, Mark (I think).

    Thumbs up Re: Rabid Wolf Spider

    The bathtub gave it a clean background. That's why it looks like drawing.
    Spectacular shot.

    Default Posturing Dragonfly

    Here's a shot of a territorial male dragonfly exhibiting his perching posture. This photo - as with many I shoot - was taken at my frog ponds.

    Taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ7.

    Default Flies

    Yup, I'll take a picture of any kind of critter. Here's a couple of flies to prove it. If you look real close you can see my reflection on the water droplet in the mouth of the one fly.

    Default Pinky Beetle

    It may be hard to believe, but this is a small tortoise shell beetle. Here it is seen posing on my little finger for scale effect. Most people probably don't notice them because of their diminutive size. Think about it.

    Nikon D-50, 60mm micro lens with 4x diopter, F18.0, 1/250S, flash, manual exposure.
