Eensy Weensy Spider...NOT

I was cleaning out a water feature this morning and when I got to the bottom found this beauty. I wish I had something to use as a scale comparison. He was probably 3" (2.5cm) in diameter including his legs.

Good night dad♥

Yikes! I am ok around the small ones. The bigger ones are a little creepy! Good shot!

Spiders are so awesome! Great capture of this lovely. Looks like maybe a female grass spider?

@linnypinny @juliedduncan @alophoto @lesip @kandkids @pasadenarose @sonorobyn @daisyditch @maggiemae @tunia @deb60 @marilyn @dawnee @anazad511 @darsphotos @olivetreeann @dyanstevens I appreciate all the good comments especially from those of you that don't particularly like spiders, Marilyn, Rose, Ann, Karen, Julie. As well as a few that I wasn't sure about. I think this is a wolf spider and the next morning she was covered with babies as I pulled her out of the pond. I apologize for my lack of responding recently. last week was a very busy week but I hope to be back in the swing of things as much as I ever am. A special thanks to @alophoto @lesip @anazad511 @dawnee @rosiekind and @claycameras for the FAVS.

@myhrhelper LOL! thanks for the technical assessment! ;~}

Great capture! Since it's on the computer screen and not in person, I can observe that she has beautiful colors and your photo has great detail.
