Another spider…

This one looks a lot friendlier than the False Widow I saw a couple of weeks ago in the garage ( http://365project.org/emmadurnford/2014-365-projec/2014-04-06) and was in the kitchen this time.

I never kill spiders as they do a good job keeping flies down but I am a little concerned that the large number of them in the house is possibly a reflection on my slovenly cleaning - I am a strong advocate of the saying "A clean house is a sign of a wasted life"!
Spiders are such good practice for focusing! They even stay still for a moment before they flee so fast!

That's one creepy fellow! Great capture.

@catwoman2 I'm thinking you have some much more dangerous ones where you live - we are lucky ours just look scary (this one was only about 1cm across) @maggiemae This one was not too happy with Colin shining a torch on him/her so kept wandering off!

I confess I'm not fond of spiders, but this is a nice sharp macro. I also try to avoid killing them even though I don't like them; but in an apartment I don't see many anyway. Love your slogan about what a clean house means--I think I'll adopt it as mine too, if you don't mind. And by the way, I love that Isabelle's mouse is called Maddy.
