After all that rain I did some weeding and suddenly had this in my hand! I got the fright of my life, that was the end of my weeding for the day. Will wait till it dries out now.
You don't really see how big this spider is - but would imagine there - would be fairly big! One hid in my newspaper and I yelped when I turned the page - then thumped violently! I don't like that squashed effect!
This is an absolutely remarkable photo of him. such a fabulous detail and clarity. I can see why it would give you a freight but I agree with your tag. He is a beauty.
Yikes is right! I come across fellows like this in the wood pile too, but they scamper away the second they sense the movement of the wood. Great shot even if I'm not into bugs!
