Skull Spider (view large)

First, I have a bit of arachnophobia, so this was captured through a window. Secondly, he looked small until I uploaded to the desk top. And, thirdly, if you view large, you will see he has what looks like little skulls on his back...I think my arachnophobia just got worse...Enjoy!

Great viewed large Lin, and I see why they are called skull spiders. Not my favourite subject but a very good close-up capture.

Wow! I got hee-bee-gee-bee shivers....

[Stephanie Swift]

I think mine just got worse too--a great capture, but I don't think I'll view it large.

@ladymagpie @rellimdj @tristansmum Thanks for viewing, everyone...Joe summed it up nicely! I posted this as my Facebook cover photo last night and was immediately sorry (LOL)...it's getting changed tonight! (Oh, and the spider was still there today...same place...)

Wonderful detail, this is a really pretty spider - well as far as spiders can be pretty.

@genealogygenie Love your comment! I actually am quite frightened of spiders - I could never have been that close without the glass between us!
