Great shot of the spider. That would have been a fright.

[Dawn]

@mittens lol all I thought of was grabbing my camera

[Dawn]

@littleconnie Thanks Connie it did give me a start

[Nicole Campbell]

I hope you are okay, my first instinct would not have been to take a photo

[Dawn]

@nicolecampbell Oh thanking you Nicole and yes I'm fine

[Diana]

Great shot, but I'd jump a mile high!

[Issi Bannerman]

Not liking the look of him, but nice image!

[Graeme Stevens]

Kill it. Kill it with fire.

[Babs]

You are so brave. Not so sure I would have taken a photo of it. Not until it was squashed at least.

[Catherine]

He looks big! I am afraid to say that I would have run a mile!!!!

[JackieR]

I'd have been hysterical!! Great close up but yucky subject

[Joanna kate]

Too close for comfort

[Jenfurj]

Oh he does look rather nasty. Good photo though.

[Dawn]

@ludwigsdiana Most NZ spiders are harmless luckly

[Dawn]

@jamibann No it sure doesn't look nice

[Dawn]

@graemestevens Now why doesn't your response surprise me lol , I actually put it outside

[Dawn]

@onewing No Babs once pic taken I put it outside

[Dawn]

@megpicatilly lol I can't run

[Dawn]

@joannakate I thought so too but it is harmless

[Dawn]

@365projectorgjenfurj Sometimes they sure look nasty but it was harmless

[sally agnew]

Glad it was harmless :)

[Chris K]

goodness, that was lucky

[Erin]

Omg it looks huge

[Claude Trew]

Rather you than me, it wouldn't have stayed on my arm long enough for a photo. well done.

[gloria jones]

Yikes...I'm itching :).

[Jennifer]

eek. great shot.

[Merrelyn]

I quite like spiders, just not when they're climbing on me :)

[Peter H]

Eeek!

[Margaret Brown]

Wow, he's a biggun!! Not my cup of tea but a great shot, how brave were you!!

[Carole Sandford]

Think I'd have died on the spot! Nice close up of this not so nice subject!

[Kathy]

I hope it was just passing through and no bites (and worse) involved.

[katy]

Holy Moses! It looks huge!! Good on you though for getting the camera first! Spectacular photo!

[KWind]

Wow... great close-up! It looks huge!

[Carol]

What is it?

[Dawn]

@hermann @cruiser @ezzzmaay I sure got a surprise it was about 20mm so yes I thought to be big

[Dawn]

@claudiet Lol no it was off my arm quick smart I can tell you

[Dawn]

@seattlite @jesperani Me too lol

[Dawn]

@merrelyn @peadar @craftymeg No Im not brave at all , we are lucky here in NZ there is only one spider one has to be wary of that is the Katipo and this is only found in the grasses at the beach and not all beaches.

[Dawn]

@carole_sandford @randystreat @grammyn @kwind Yes I thought it big about 20mm

[Dawn]

@cmsch52 I have no idea what its called apart from spider no help sorry

[bruni]

I'd get it off me as fast as possible...they look so disgusting. I saw one in our bathroom, although we have a screen in front of our window. they get through the smallest crevices.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Oh my stars, on your ARM? Yikes! He looks monstrous in size!

[Dawn]

@bruni I agree Bruni they are horrid beasties

[Dawn]

@lyndemc Don't worry it was gone fast lol

[Louise & Ken]

On your arm?!!!! I would have about died! My first instinct would have been to obliterate it by any means possible...and THAT wouldn't have been a pretty picture!!! (Can you tell what my phobia is?!!!)

[PhylM-S]

Oh my... and on you?! You're very calm!
