those don't bother me as much as the skinny legged ones. The ones that seem out of proportion. oh, and the african cave spiders and the camel spiders.
Did you know that many spiders have the capacity to jump over 10 feet!! So whenever you snap those pictures remember that or one day you will find one jumping on you!
although they can jump really far, most spiders just want to run away when I play with them except for the one in the first picture, the other ones are so gentle they could be pets. the Phoneutria keyserlingi in the first pic kept trying to jump on my hand, and it would stand on the back legs and lift the front legs in a very threatening stance... viscious things these brazilian wandering spiders... they're known for killing dogs
Wow...those pics are beautiful AND creepy......kinda like you, Varda! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! j/k
The lesser-spotted Bug Lady strikes without warning and feasts greedily on her latest victims. How do you get the incredible detail like in that last one, Varda? The last time someone asked you said you were just using a bog-standard digicam. Is that just on a plain vanilla macro setting, or are you making any special adjustments?
