Yes, I am still pondering it...
1. It's not "glowing" of it's own accord.
2. A correctly exposed shot, does not "luminate", it appears white.
3. I only get the glow when I accidentally (or purposefully like this), under expose the shot.
I am assuming it appears to be "glowing", beacuse an under exposed shot predominantly picks up on its white abdomen. Due to that, I believe the white abdomen appears green because of the refracting light of it's green skin.
The only thing stumping me, is that it is a light green spider, not that rich darker luminescence green, seen in the shots.
I will get out there tonight and try to get the "glow" from another angle.
Perhaps that would lead to more answers.
