Tegenaria gigantea - 23-10

I am not afraid of spiders but this one does look scary I suppose. I used to pick them up in my hands to move them until one bit me. Its not a False Widow

nice close up

[GazBadger]

Wow... super detail!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great capture but pleeeeeeeeeese keep it away from me !!!

[Pat Knowles]

Beware of the black widow....I don't mind spiders but I wouldn't like to be bitten!

[Wendy]

Great capture! Did you notice that she is missing a leg? She must have just barely escaped with her life once.
Too bad we couldn't ask her what happened - it would make an interesting story!

[dave bennett]

fabulous detail

[Margaret Brown]

Nice macro, with fine detail, but not one of my favourites!

[Kev]

Great macro, Rob. I don't mind them, but I don't pick em up!

[Sarah Munnings]

I won't pick them up, but have got to a point I am indifferent about the rather than squealing! !
Fab capture, how big was it?
