DP's Bug-Photo Thread

Discussion in 'Science and Nature' started by DurbanPoison, Aug 16, 2008.

  1. So instead of posting a brand new thread for every photo I take... I'm just going to create this thread and bump it w/ pics as they come along.

    Here are a couple of pics I've taken in the past few days.

    Best picture I could get for the distance and angle at which I had to take the shot (this is perched in a web-tunnel built into the corner of one of my window-air conditioners and won't come out for anything if I'm remotely near it)

    Spider I just happen to see scurrying through the mulch. Once again, not the best that could have been done if I'd seen it earlier before it made a run for the rocks.
