Fishing Spiders

Managed a few shots of my friends the six-spotted fishing spiders.

They are still small, but you can tell they're growing because you find their cast-off skins. (One of the clues that they're around.) These were a bit over a centimeter (1/2 inch) in body size (not counting the long legs). It can take a bit of looking to spot them, but once you start to see them there are quite a few around.

And their beautiful home, which I'm lucky enough to share as my surroundings at Innovation Place. (And first thing in the morning you don't have to deal with the wedding and graduation photo parties!)

These were taken with the little RX100m2. The focus is a bit hit or miss with getting so close on the macro shots, but given a cooperative subject (which these guys are, as long as you move slowly) you can take a bunch and usually get one that's sharp.
