Absolutely beautiful, but again - why do they have to make themselves appear so darn creepy? all those eyes, there's really no need to show off, two will do

yea the first shot of the wolf spider kind of creeped me out when I first saw it on my computer the full size of the screen. It was something to have nightmares about!!

lovely pics again, you really are very good. I love the banana spider, I think they must be one of my favs (their colours are fantastic).

the wolf spider with babies is fascinating and the big wolf pic is just a great pic.

You've cheered my morning up, thank you

That first picture of the wolf spider is particularly stunning! I wonder if thats the same type of wolf spider you get here.

I love spiders and wildlife, but i must admit i'm glad that there is nothing particularly dangerous here .
Its nice to be able to lie outside in the grass without worrying about being bitten .

Yea, I was trying to get good photos of her and she would not stop moving. Luckily she was slow from the weight of the young ones.

im always terrified when i see these spider pics of yours.. even your avatar creeps me out BADLY..

i might have to avoid spider topics in the future.. i often have bad dreams about them crawling all over my walls .. lmao

I used to #### my pants only knowing I'm close to one but I got to say some of them looks amazing

You ought to check the dpi on those photos and see about selling them to various naturalist book series/publishers. i know Audubon puts out a spider guide and I'm sure there are others.

Spiders are so gross, I think they should all drown in an ocean and then have the remains eaten by hungry sharkies. , but other than the spider part I like your photography skills. Hopefully you used the zoom instead of getting close to them...

Uhhhhh, actually I had the camera right up on the spiders. Not my fingers though....

I love spiders, always have. And I've never quite figured out what's so scary about most of them, especially since the majority are not that harmful to humans. Weird lol.
