The obligatory spider macro that's du rigueur in these games ;-) This guy was about 8-9 mm in body length so I wasn't too worried picking him up and posing him!
Wow, he looks like he's scared and ready to bite! All 360*! ha, great macro Mike!

Thanks folks. Bev, I'm not at all versed in these things and I don't know what's really recognisable as an eye on this character (though most are obvious), but I gather that they can have up to 4 pairs! - Mike
I do have to agree, this one certainly gives goosebumps. Great capture but I'm glad you got to take the shot and not me :) Linda L

Hm-m-m, never thought of picking up a spider, Mike. The word "squish" goes through my mind. However, great macro! - maybe just a little too 'close & personal' :-) How many eyes does this creature have? Bev
