I picked up a couple twigs on a walk this afternoon, thinking I'd either try my hand at shooting lichen, or using them as perches for capturing some bird photos

I was about to put them in the garden when i spotted a web, and on a much closer look a lichen spider, its a new species apparently

In the process I found i could use the canon ios app to move the focus (=stack) while using the flash, something you cant do using the cameras focus stack options. That'll come in handy.

#s 2 and 3 for me JIm - great shots.

That is one outstanding camouflage suit.

I find myself repeatedly looking to seethe spider is really there.

Its a great optical effect, never heard of this spider.

If I could give 2 thumbs and a Fonz eh, I would.

Thanks roger 👍👍 🤷‍♂️ ?
