The Life of Pholcus phalangioides

My flat, Germany

Pholcus phalangioides is a rather famous spider for its dancing beneath the ceiling in your living room. I was lucky enough to be able to follow a "family" through the important parts of development.

Hi Bee! Thanks, glad you like it. :)) And yes, the detail of the youngsters is lost in this resolution. However, as the adults are more contrasty due to their coloured bodies, I put the emphasis on them. If you or anyone else is interested in larger pics of the youngsters, they are on my page: http://www.jr-worldwi.de/photo/gallery/Pentax_100_Macro_&_Vivitar__bug.html These are 33% resizes - Even larger versions can be found on my HDD ;) Cheers, Jens

Really nice series well presented. Awesome capture on the right, espeically. I assume we're losing the detail of the smaller images because of the low resolution. That's a shame. bee1000
