A peek into the tiny world?

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Green lynx spiderlings

While on a look out for some interesting insects, almost missed out on this interesting sighting. On tip of, probably a Cocks comb flower plant, a massive Green lynx spider was guarding its off springs and those tiny beauties seemed to be enjoying the morning cold breeze trying to venture out to the new world. Being too tiny I utilized the opportunity to explore the usage of Raynox DCR250 and tried to focus on anyone of the tiny octalegged infants, but the struggle to get anyone or a few in frame, with their hyperactive nature seemed a tad too tough. Eventually though got this frame where on of them seemed to be climbing up towards the other litter. After taking the snap, and closely observing the shot, I realized that the tiny infants were moving over their own molts and the whole base was a dense carpet of translucent molts, almost like some translucent cushion

Interesting. Good details on the one in the front. If there was more depth of field, it would have created a very nice pattern of the spiderlings. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Very very interesting sight. Some space to fully include the one at the top right corner would have been good.

Framing was really tough at this instance, especially with the Raynox in the front, without tripod, and super fast motion of the tiny beauties, had to settle with this one in the end
