Arachnid

Thanks Mark! Very interesting creatures these are :)

Yay! You are not freaked out…that is so cool Ursula! They really are very cute little things don’t you think? Thanks so much for the very kind comment :)

Spiders are so cool when you look at them really closely don’t you think? Thank you very much for your comment Glenn. Much appreciated :)

Ahahaha! Sorry about that Nathalie! Thanks for the comment though :)

Thanks so much Monika!

I know huh? Crazy lookin’ creatures!

Hmmmm….an arachnid purse….you may have come up with something there Angel!

Seems I am messing with a lot of people’s heads! Thanks so much for your support Johanne :)

Thanks so much John :)

He was wading through a pile of water on my deck after a big rain fall so I think by the the time he got to the step I captured him on he was really tired! This was natural overcast ‘lighting’, and I used my 105 macro lens at f14. I actually have blown it up quite a bit and cropped it to get close up detail. No rings or bellows. Just me crouched down in a puddle of water getting real close and personal! Thanks so much for your interest, and for you comment :)

Those eyes are pretty cool are they not!? Thank you very much Ken :)

I love to get close and personal to the little creatures! Thanks for your time and comment Steve :)

And wow….thank you for that!

That is some information I wish you would have kept to yourself Robert :P Nasty! Thanks anyway :)

A gooseberry eh? Interesting! Thank you very much for your comment Clare. I always appreciate your thoughts :)

Creepy, but kinda cute too don’t you think?! Thanks so much Henk :)

Were you spying on me Vikram?! You pretty much nailed the whole scene. I found him in an akward spot and I had to get into an akward position to capture him. I sure hope you were not spying because it probably was an interesting sight! Thanks kindly for your comment :)

Thank you very much kind sir :)

Thank you very kindly Antanas :)

Cheers Michael :)

I have become very interested in spiders thanks to you Pete! She was really slow after wading through a small lake on our deck so by the time she got to the end she was tired and nice and still. I am so glad you like this one :) I am sure there will always be the odd spider shot show up here and there :)

National Geographic?! Wow! Thank you very much Paul! And yes it sure is hairy!

Whoops….super late thank you Dean but hope you will still accept it :) Thank you!

Sweet! Thanks so much Jen :)

Aaaahahaha! Seriously, spiders are great, except this one was the size of my head. True story. No I am lying.
