aww isn't he pretty :) and he won't even kill you only leave you with localised pain as discribed in the book. He's about 35mm or inch and a half across and those spikes are quite sharp as I found out when he tryed to exscape, not something I'll do again but they say you should try things at least once just to see if you like it. :P
Wow, he is cute. I thought at fist that he was really an ornamental jewelled spider! I have never heard of one or seen one before. Fascinating and a great shot1 Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat is probably the grossest and most awesome creepy crawly thing ever.
ReplyDeleteThis is without a doubt your best photo yet.
Great Work!
Nice! We don't have anything like that in Colorado - and I'm kind of glad! You captured his (or her) likeness well!
ReplyDeleteCool, but I wouldn't have let it touch my skin! :)
ReplyDeleteIt actually looks like white paint was dribbled on it's back!
I think it's really an alien! Please tell me it's not crawling on someone's skin! creeeeeeeeeeepy!!
ReplyDeleteIt's real???? It looks like an ornament! Amazing! I am deeply concerned though because it does look as though it's actually on someone's skin. Please put my mind at rest and tell me the bacground is something different. Very nice capture. You are very brave - almost as brave as Cridley I'm thinking.
ReplyDeleteBush tucker?
ReplyDeletehehe... great sharpness and nice position on your (wife's?) hand. The skin colour background makes her extra creepy!
Very well done!
Great - Im doing some last minute commenting just before I go to bed....and this is what I get ??? Im going to have nightmares now.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like this!!!
It is an amazing shot...and I agree that its your best one yet!
What a cute lil spider, we sure have some sweeties down here, don't we? Good placement of it and nice and sharp.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Amazing spider and photo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange looking critter, the natural skin looking background shows it off nicely.
