scary mouth parts. I’m sure glad I’m not a fly – looks like a brutal demise at the claws of this beast! nice pic 8-)
Voltaire Carlos replied

Thanks peter finally found a new subject – I’m sick of spiders LOL
Peter Martin

good! I was at the botanical gardens on Saturday (yexterday) and photographed a huge female spider with her tiny male escort, only to realise later her rear was bursting with eggs ready to be laid – it is a completely horrible sight. i don’t like spiders much – Good For You (I was begining to worry)

ps: congratulations!!
Voltaire Carlos replied

Did you get the shot with the eggs i would love to see it :) – it would b a rare capture
