My favorites are jumping spiders. They're just too cool! Check out these pictures of them. They look like intelligent little aliens! https://www.google.com/search?q=jumping+spiders&espv=2&biw=1455&bih=705&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMImarU1ayixwIVBlKSCh1yZgHw
We have those same spiders here in Florida.View attachment 437336
I took this picture with a cell phone at night down by my pond. Pretty cool, it took me a second to realize those little dots were baby spiders.
It was tax free weekend in Massachusetts and I picked up my first DSLR camera. I purchased a Nikon D5500 which came with a 18-55mm lens and I added in a 55-300mm lens. Looking forward to learning how to take better pictures.
This was right at dusk and I was 100 yards or so away so my zoom and focus wasn't too sharp. He didn't seem too concerned with me. Pretty rough looking character though.
