Thiodina puerpera female[edit]

Original - Thiodina puerpera (adult female)
Reason
I managed to get two good shots of this little jumping spider which I then focus stacked. Although the far legs are not in focus, the DOF is pretty good for the subject (8mm at the most). The image is high res and sharp, the only white pixels are a couple small specular highlights in the eyes, the EV is high, the composition is good, the background, although not ideal, isn't distracting.

  • Support Would've liked to have seen the front pair of eyes a bit more, but that would eat depth of field. You should probably go up to about the sub-family with article placements. Noodle snacks (talk)

  • Support Good quality. Lighting is good on the subject, shadow slightly distracting but the details makes up for it. --Muhammad(talk) 07:57, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Wow! Great EV, quality. What is that white line thing about halfway down on the right side? Makeemlighter (talk) 06:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's the spider's dragline. Jumping spiders don't spin webs but they do leave a strand of silk behind wherever they go, so that in case they jump somewhere they don't want to be (in pursuit of prey) they can get back to their original spot. Kaldari (talk) 16:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
