A very large foo foo spider.

I apologize to the people that are creeped out by spiders. Sometimes I have the mind of a ten year old boy and I'm so excited when I see things that most people would rather never see.

Being a ten year old is good. Love this shot. Spiders are our friends. ;-)

[Melissa]

Bigger than a half dollar? Yeek!!! You are a braver woman than I.

[trude]

[Tamer Shams]

[Cindy Bryant]

Yuk

[Geertje K.]

He sure looks hairy! I'm a bit creeped, but I think it's really interesting on the screen, not in my home... And I totally know that feeling ;-)

[Jann]

Looks great on the wood- Nice shot.

[K J Buehl]

Nice Capture! Yep pretty big I'd say! You caught lots of detail, maggie, but I am sure you did not have to catch him, haha!

[Karen Sylvia]

Nice textures with the wood. :)

[Denise]

Very cool spider.

[elkehochban]

Not fond of spiders, but this is a beautifully composed and shot photo!

[Krista]

Yuck...but great close up.

[Kalexa]

He is handsome in his own right! Like the tree texture too.

[Robin Mersh]

Keep the faith.. it is who you are!

Great pic by the way!

[Diana Horn]

Great capture. Are they poisonous?

[Margaret Tryon]

@ladydi Diana, I don't know if they are. I would hate to be bit by one as they are very large.

[paula goff]

wooo, that spider does look big! but I like him because it's nice to see something different:) i am happy to see him in your photo and not in person...hehe

[Courtney]

CREEPY! I just love your caption about the mind of a ten year old. Don't lose that! :)

[Margaret Tryon]

@paulaag Paula, I was as attracted to the colors in the tree as I was the spider. I didn't mind seeing him outdoors, but I had him in my house. :-o

[Elaine]

Yes creepy, but a great capture!

[Emer Hyland]

cool pic love insect shots this one is terrific

[Vicki Kell]

Yuck i am one of those that get creeped out! Great capture.

[Pyrrhula]

Spiders are also a part of nature and beauty is only in the eye of the beholder.
She is ( for a long time ) and I`m also her`s fav ( I believe )

[simon peter thorne]

great capture but I'm not too fond of spiders

[Cheryl]

honestly, he is a bit creepy_ I am glad i do not have to watch him move-the colors in the tree bark are really cool ~

[Caroline]

Yikes!! He's creepily awesome - I actually had a shiver!!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Great detail. I am glad this is just a picture because it looks like the spider is coming right at me. I do have great curiosity too and like to look at insects and spiders. I really "bug" one of my husband's sisters, who is scared of all insects and spiders.

[Alecio]

I love spiders, but this one looks dangerous, yet beautiful

[molizard]

Very cool spider. So, I wonder if I was the only one who googled "foo foo spider" to make sure it wasn't really it's name. Very nice pic.

[Jennifer C]

wonderful capture!!!

[Margaret Tryon]

@molizard LOL I'm sorry you went to the trouble of looking it up. I make up names for things when I don't know what they are. I'm too lazy to look them up.

[cynce frantz]

i love spiders ... this one is a beauty... great processing like that there's a touch of pastel in the wood...

[Maria]

Aaaah!! Yikes. Great shot. Really beautiful, especially for what it is.

[David Hinsvark]

Nice shoot.

[Vanessa Marie]

Very cool capture, even though I would cry if I ever found this in my bedroom.

[Bugik]

Ha great shot!!

[Linda Paul]

This is a nice safe way to examine a spider! I find them fascinating, while at the same time, I nearly pop out of my skin when I have to deal with them.

[Netkonnexion]

Nice, I think! Great capture.

[Donna Edwards]

Ack, looks huuge! Good shot though ;o)

[Tabbycat]

Ha! I'm just like you! I love the things that creep everyone else out! I really love the subtle rainbow bark on this tree! It reminds me of a snowgum...

[glynnis garrod]

I so know that feeling of being excited by stuff that may not rock the next persons boat ! cool capture!

[Lynn M. Watson]

Fabulous detail . . . love the texture on the tree!

[Penny Milner]

That spider is absolutely beautiful-almost velvety
