Hello photography lovers..
Today I again want to share some macro photos with two interesting photo objects. Some of the photos I am sharing are the result of macro photo hunting a few days ago in the forest.
The first photo is several photos of bush spiders, skilled predators that can paralyze their prey even if they don't use spider web traps. Patience is the key to this spider's success in paralyzing its prey. Yes, this spider is very patient waiting for its prey to come while it hides behind wild leaves.
The spider I mean is a spider with the Latin name Oxyopes salticus. Just like other types of animals, Oxyopes salticus spiders also have two sexes, namely male & female. Some of the photos of the Oxyopes salticus spider above are male while the two photos of the spider below are female Oxyopes salticus.
The difference between the two lies in their front legs, male spiders have front legs like those of a horse or crab while female spiders do not. Regarding the color, both are generally yellow with almost the same pattern.
The second photo is a species of assassin bugs, this bugs has several species with several color variants such as black, red, yellow or brownish. And the assassin bugs that I am sharing are yellow assassin bugs. The assassin bugs that I shared seem to be part of Sinea diadema.
"Sinea diadema is a species of assassin bug family (Reduviidae), in the subfamily Harpactorinae." Wikipedia
Assassin bug are actually quite dangerous insects as their name suggests, this is because if they are bitten by these insects they can be dangerous and even fatal. The assassin bug bite is quite venomous & will usually leave pain & swelling in the area of the assassin bug bite. And when I photographed it I was very careful so as not to get bitten. :)
