DSCN0480

This guy was on my kitchen screen this morning.
I tried to get him without so much background,
but finally gave up and figured the reflection
of tree and sky enhanced the photo...well, not
really, but it was a good way to give up!
I don't have any phobias, but this guy scared me a bit.

If anyone is interested I have a small gallery of the rest of my bee photos from July 5

Great picture of your awesome spider! If she has babies I would love to have one!...just joking!! I do love to take pictures of spiders. Missy

This is a male fisher spider in the genus Dolomedes. Scary, but harmless to humans.

Watch out for recluse spiders, there bite is quiet painful.

Is it a brown recluse? This one I'd run from.

This guy is huge. Good picture.

I do like this, petesie. My own thought would be that the screen would be a distraction, but it really enhances the photo enormously. Yep, scary spider. Never counted his legs yet.

Wow,I didn't even notice that...wonder what happened to number eight?
Rick Lewis08-Jul-2004 02:15
Could be me but I'm only counting seven legs. Even with that this fellow is intimidating.

Gulp. Looks well-fed to me. Are all the children accounted for?

Awesome spider shot. Looks scary to me.

I really DO like the background! I'm not afraid of spiders but this looks.. well enormous.

OMG, what a monster! It's a good thing I like spiders. Great shot.

OMG, I think I would've ran out of my kitchen crying and screaming if I saw that thing. I definitely have a bad case of arachnophobia. Yikes!
