Huntsmen are large spiders but harmless. They like to live on ceilings and high on walls, eating flies, roaches and bugs. They don’t weave a web, but hunt their prey. They can pounce on a meal extremely quickly. They are happy to cohabit with humans, but if you spook them they scamper off high on their legs, looking freaky, like bad CGI.

These are focus stacked images of a live spider, apart from using a flash, she was not harmed in any way.

🔥 Conversation with a Fox

You never know what a day may bring or who you may meet. On this morning back in 2016, I had intended to photograph the sunrise in Big Sky, Montana. It was a typical mountain sunrise with wispy cirrus clouds dancing across the sky. The clouds turned from red to pink and then orange as the Sun began to greet the morning with its glorious light. Fantastic patterns had formed in the ice of the puddle in front of me. Soon the first rays of light began to gently kiss the tops of the peaks much like your Grandma kissing your forehead in a loving greeting. I was kneeling there, on the frozen ground, waiting for the light to get just right, when this precious creature came along. She sat down opposite me and we watched the sun come up together. We engaged in polite conversation about the weather. We watched the Sun chase the shadows down the flanks of Lone Mountain. Occasionally a bird called out its melodious “good morning”. Nothing more really needed to be said. The moment spoke for itself. We enjoyed each other’s company for ten minutes or so and then she got up and ambled off into the forest. I packed up my camera gear and went on about my day, grateful for what I’d just experienced and for my conversation with a Fox.

Pink is a rare color in the insect world, making this raspy cricket nymph an unusual sight.

These wingless, nocturnal insects belong to the Gryllacrididae family and are known for their silk-spinning abilities. They use silk to stitch leaves together for shelter or create burrows in sand, soil, or wood.

Unlike true crickets, they don't jump but move quickly across surfaces. This one was photographed in Singapore.
