Safety Net

l am unfamiliar with the anatomy of a spider but read that they usually have eight eyes. l can find six on this one and they look like eyes and nose of a face to me. I found this one in the pool doing what might have been the backstroke!

Great shot, Katy. Love the detail you captured. I only see two eyes unless the 4 things under them are eyes too. I had to laugh at the backstroke of this spider in your pool. Lucky spider to have you rescue it. Looks like this one is in your net, then what did you do with it besides take this photo? FAV

[Amanda Powell]

Creepy!!! I can't look at it long enough to spot anymore eyes!!! Great shot!!!

[Deb]

I think two eyes are behind it's head. Cool shot :D

[katy]

@darsphotos Thanks, Darlene! as near as I can tell those are eyes too! I shook him off in some plants. Thanks for the FAv and I am glad you like the shot!

@froggie0628 I am so proud of you fro looking at all! thanks a bunch, Amanda!

[katy]

@deburahiru Well no wonder I can't see them! Glad you like it! He was a cool big guy.

Nice macro Capture

[Rick Schies]

I'm surprised you got close enough to count them

[Claire]

Yikes

[Jason Daniels]

@deburahiru @grammyn - Deb is right, often the final two eyes are at the back of its head, and not all spiders have 8 eyes.

@grammyn haha! I think it is a wolf spider and they are huge and scare me a little. But only in real life! I can appreciate them in photos! :0)

[katy]

@espyetta I think they are the coolest. They seem less sinister to me.
