Really nice capture of the detail and capturing them together. Those are interesting details on her back.

She is a beauty. The male looks rather wary, I wonder if he ends up as lunch.

Fav. Superb close-up capture and detail. The lady spider looks much bigger than the male.

Nice shot of this arachnid. These look so much more menacing than they actually are.

That's a beauty

Wow- I hope he survives, but she's one big mama and I don't know if he'll last!
March 26th, 2024  
Creepy!!!!

Thanks everybody - I loved your comments :) She was probably at least four inches long (from either ends of her legs), so it is hard not to feel sorry for him! Forever hopeful, lurking up there out of harm's way! He never gets any bigger and, unfortunately, is often eaten after he's had his way with her!! Luckily, they aren't a problem for humans - except that their webs are very, very sticky if you accidently walk into one. Cheers Rob

Oh - Thank you so much Amy and Kate, I hadn't realised that - and it's great news. It's very exciting to see one of your own photos in that list - I'd always thought of that as a list of photos from real photographers... :) Thanks again Cheers Rob
