Have you ever found yourself face to face with a spider and wondered whether it was going to harm you with it's bite as you gazed into its eyes? Wonder no more! Study this handy chart designed by Thomas Shahan, who has taken many a closeup photo of spiders so you don't have to.
Have a try at identifying this anxious arachnid...
Did you guess jumping spider? That's correct! This is an adult female Phidippus mystaceus Jumping Spider. Her anxious expression is no doubt caused by her concentration as she calculates the length of jump onto your face.
If you prefer something other than closeups of spiders and other small creatures, Thomas also makes interesting art and takes nice non-macro photos, such as this mossy table somewhere in Oregon.
Ahhhhhhh...
In other news, the "ink" experiment didn't amount to much other than pink water that barely tinted my paper strips. I'll try again when I get the proper equipment and ingredients.
