    Did you put stars in this little guy’s eyes? This is an awesome shot. He does have a Donn King hairdo, doesn’t he? All over! He’s really good-looking, and I’m not necessarily a fan of spiders. Good work, Robkal. Very good work!

    What a super little guy and a great shot. Not that I’d like him on MY backdoor screen, but I am very happy you took this picture. Reminds me, I need to get out my tweezers and magnifying mirror and pluck a few chinwhiskers of my own.

    Spiders scare the bejeebers out of me but they are fascinating to look at and I would never kill one. I like to look closely at flys too, anything that doesn’t stay still long enough for you to run and grab your magnifying glass. This has got to be the BEST spider pic I have ever seen, just love it.
