#WildlifeWednesday This is a contender for one of my favorite spider shots I’ve taken. I’m going to blur it since it’s not a cute jumping spider. It’s still kinda cute to me since it was only 2-3 millimeters tall.

🕷️😊 Researchers in #Uttarakhand, #India, spotted a spider resembling #Hawaii’s happy-face #spider during ant #biodiversity work.

#DNA confirmed it was a new species, *Theridion himalayana*, with distinct evolutionary origins. Both species evolved their patterns independently.

I follow a lot of nature photographers on different platforms. At times, seeing all the wonderful photos of crazy bright and colourful species of insects, spiders, and birds from all across the globe makes the fauna in central Europe appear a bit lame. But then I grab my own camera, go out, and notice pretty quickly that that's far from the truth. The photos here just show a few of the spiders I come across without even leaving my garden. There might not be quite as much colour around, but there are tons of fascinating, beautiful, and diverse species all around!

This tiny cucumber spider (Arianella) lives on a leaf in my garden. At around 2.5mm my 60mm lens really struggles, so I have made the jump to the 90mm macro lens.

Physics being physics, gain goes with cost. There is some improvement here but a spider is deep and boxy, so the loss in depth of field is very unhelpful.
