Scary, or what?...



I'm not the biggest fan of these creatures, but when you get in close you can see just how elegant nature can be. Taken in my back garden, I had to wait a considerable time before the wind dropped sufficiently to get a sharp, focused image of the garden spider (Creepyus crawlyicus*).

Spiders is fab, spiders is. Especially those ones. I have one on my window upstairs. He's called Bob. ;) It's the big black ones I have issue with. They go from 0-60 in two seconds. I don't like that in a spider. :)

I agree. I prefer the stationary version of arachnid. They are less threatening and easier to photograph. :-)
