Don't come any closer!

Not for arachnophobes! This spider didn't like the look of my camera and adopted a very threatening stance!

Very hairy legs! And I love the holes in the leaves.

Great capture! Not my favorite subject. :)

[Janiskay]

I won't! Come any closer that is. I do no have a love of spiders.

[GaryW]

Amazing macro!

[Rick]

Great shot. He does look like there is a lot of attitude. Wouldn't want to mess with him.

[Nitrogene]

This is beautiful, love the detail - also slightly unsettling :)

[Julienne Jones]

@christophercox I'm glad my legs aren't that hairy ....

[Julienne Jones]

@mbmomentsintime - poor spiders always get a bad press! :) He's not really bad - just trying to keep rude intruders like me away

[Julienne Jones]

@jomo - fortunately he didn't pouce .... I think I may have moved rather sharpish if he did

[Julienne Jones]

@yeshanghai @scrollwizard @woofandweft1 @gijsje @memoriesbydawn @aat3877 @janiskay @thewatersphotos @rickster549 @nitrogene - Thanks for the lovely comments. Sorry to those of you who don't find this fellow handsome and alluring! Strange how many people are really spooked by spiders.

[Christopher Cox]

@julienne1 Me too!

[Carla]

[Vera]
