Sand spider

Best enlarged, I don't have macro lens, so I crop a lot and thanks to my camera, details are still here !
This tiny thing was not more than 1,5 cm....I've never seen spider on beach before.
This one was particularly ugly : hairy, verrucas on her back ( or eggs)...and I'm sure all her eyes were staring at me....

what a good name for this one.

@glendq I just check on the web, what I first saw as warts could be eggs, there a spider called Lycose (wolf-spider) that really looks similar !

[Kerri]

Fav!

[Kalexa]

Love how it blends in. Great find!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Not the prettiest girl on the beach but a great capture.

[Maeva]

Indeed, it seems that she's looking at you... I won't consider the beach the same way anymore...

[bardejov]

LOoks like little sand crab only it's 8 legged spider. Brr!. Great shot. You are almost done with your project.

[Michael Elliott]

Wow blends right in - how'd you ever notice it.

[Brian Baptie]

Not the most attractive spider I have seen. Well spotted!!

This is so cool. I enlarged before reading your commentary and then had to enlarge again to check out the 'eggs' A really fascinating find and beautifully photographed. You can see how tiny by the size of the grains of sand in comparison xx

[Jennifer Ruge]

Nice spider!

[Alison Tomlin]

Superb detail. Splendid looking creature.

[Aaron]

Excellent shot and great detail! Those are bunch of baby spiders (hatchlings) on her back!

[Janiskay]

Another great capture! I am not fond for spiders but I will photograph them if I get the chance.
