These images of the Green Lynx spider (Peucetia viridans) were taken some years ago when I found the spider's nest in some shrubbery. These were taken with an EOS 5D MII and the ef MP-e65 1-5x Macro lens. The nest was in some thickets and I did setup a tripod to stablize but only a few shots of each were good enough to run through Zerene stacker. Mark Sturtevant's recent post reminded me of the shots but are no-way as clear.
The Laowa 2.5-5x super macro lens is pretty nice - putting it on a wish list. Thanks for looking.
Meatballs anyone?

Re: Green Lynx Spider Nest
That is very cool! I would encounter these in fields out in California in one of my 'former lives'. Often as mama spiders like this, guarding their brood. So this takes me back.
Thank you for sharing!
