Since the unhappy theft of my camera and laptop, I’ve been relatively silent on the blog as there’s not a whole lot of photo\/video action to write about. But I’m still enjoying the digital microscope I got recently from the Sharper Image – essentially a kids’ science toy, but I’m not ashamed to admit in some ways I’m still a kid at heart.<\/p>\n

Today I had some fun with a spider. He’s only about a quarter inch long. No spiders were harmed in the making…<\/p>\n

The side of his head – showing two of his lateral eyes, at bottom right, and top left.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another shot of that eye on the side of its head<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is one of his feet.\u00a0 Those “hooks” must be how spiders hang on to a vertical surface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, a top-down view of his head – now the location of the eyes photographed earlier can be more easily seen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who knows….some random spider body part!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again top of the head, with its main eyes looking toward the left of the image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and finally, a full photo of our furry friend.\u00a0 Next time, a white background would be better.\u00a0 Oh, and don’t ask what kind of spider it is – that’s for YOU to figure out!\u00a0 Hint:\u00a0 Windhoek, Namibia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
