Spider, Hebbal Lake, Bangalore

A species of jumping spider. Any positive ID earns a beer :D Could be a spidress with an egg sac.

40D, MP-E-65, MT-24-EX flash, manual exposure, f14 @ 1/200 second.

This is at twice life size and a near full frame.

Thanks for looking, commnents welcome.

wow...very detailed. Only thing i know about spider is 'Females are huge compare to males' :)

I have seen dad catching spiders for his research during my childhood days, but never developed an interest on spiders. :-(

Lets see who gets the id right.

Cheers,

Great image! Looks like something from a 1950's sci-fi movie. Spider id is very difficult, nearly impossible unless you've done a Ph.D. on it!! :-)
