Discovered this beauty under the fake plastic boulder that covers our well, when I was mowing today. I kept my distance, and cropped after the fact, though I wish I had added my 2X extender to the 80 mm Fuji macro. Handheld at 1/1250 seconds with OIS, f/4, ISO 5000, overcast sky lighting. Google Lens identifies it as a Southern Black Widow.

I got a better photo of her. I believe she's guarding her eggs. Fuji 80 mm macro set at f/5.6, with a Fuji 2x tele-extender making that f/11, at 1/250 s and ISO 12,800 handheld. Natural cloudy sky indirect lighting on a bright sunny day. This is slightly cropped, much less so than the others I posted.

As an aside, I think we have a 1000 KB file size limit here. I played around in MacOS Photos with different compressions and sizes, trying to get just under 1000 KB, but got 1700, 1200, 1300, and what MacOS says is 302 and this posting says is 295. I don't know how to more directly specify what size I want to wind up with, in this software. Anybody happen to know?

Hey, THANKS, jerryy!! I found all kinds of online references about the Photos app that say you just have to play with the settings to see what you can get, but nowhere a hint of this. Here's the same image, exported from Photos as a full size full quality jpg, and then re-exported from Preview with the slider set to just under 1 MB:
