Pisaura cf. mirabilis ♀ Pisauridae among the thorns of a wild thistle plant. It's a large spider of no medical relevance to humans, despite its moderate size. It has a dark brown fishbone pattern on the back of its abdomen and a "tuft" of hair on the front of its prosoma.

A close-up photo of a fishing spider, likely Dolomedes tenebrosus, perched on a split log. The spider has a robust body with mottled black and brown coloration and banded legs, adapted for camouflage against the bark. Fine hairs and eight eyes are visible in sharp detail. Its pose suggests motion or alertness, enhancing its dramatic presence.

Dolomedes (likely D. tenebrosus) highlights a fascinating behavior. Males sacrifice themselves during mating. it's internally programmed. Schwartz et al. (2013) found they even prefer well-fed, virgin females.

Úlovek z dnešního psovenčení: Lovčík hajní (Pisaura mirabilis). Trochu mi připomíná Trumpa. Kvalita spíš dokumentační, světlo ostré polední, objektiv ne-makro. #macro #spiders #pisauridae
