Palm Spider

I took a photo of one of these last year with my point and shoot. I like this one better. What a magnificent creature and I like the light on her web. They are really big but nor harmful.
Thanks so much for sending my white eye photo to PP yesterday. I am elated and appreciative

Awesome

[Pat Knowles]

A stunning coloured back & just look at her flat head! I like the matching flashes of yellow!

[Jennifer]

Ditto Pat! I love the matching colours and pattern detail on its back.

[Kate Goring]

Fantastic.

[Anwan]

Fabulous! I suppose it's big enough to not need a macro lens? I love the way the sun is hitting the left legs. Great capture of the web, too!

[kaseja]

really nice detail, Jane. I like the background, too.

[Sue Wilde]

GReat detail here Jane...what lens are you using?

@anwan I took it with my bird lens (300 mm) since I was shooting birds when I spotted it and then cropped like crazy

There are some huge spiders in Hawaii. This one is a beauty.
