I have been searching the website for a few hours looking for these spiders. I have taken some photos of the yellow ones, and have red and white ones in my yard. These little buggers are hard to photograph as you may know since they are so small. I used a 70-300 today to shoot one that was pretty high near a tree - mostly they are in my garden and I use a little teleconverter 3x with my small wide angle lens. I have a fabulous shot of the yellow one - and enlarged to 5x7. I was going nuts trying to find out what they were called, but finally found them on the site. Thanks for putting your on here - yours' looks awesome!
