2020-08-25 meet Ramòn...(and its nightmare shadow)

... our pet Giant House Spider (Eratigena atrica). Well mine, not our. Hubby is not so fan of this huge one. (6cm in diameter). Especially as he (I think this is a male) ran away over my arm and jumped to a secret place after the photo session. I said I will place it outside,... but well he chose to stay inside with us. No problem for me,... he will eat the annoying midges and therefore has not to pay rent and is very welcome.

Great shadow, I’m not a great fan of spiders myself but they do good work :)

[Julie Duncan]

Great photo. But, NOPE! ;)

[Lin]

Well captured, but I agree with Julie's comment above...a big NO for me and spiders!

[Clare Gadsby]

hello ramon. you are a big boy

[Walks @ 7]

Stellar capture, in more than one way. I always try to 'move' these beauties outside as they have better 'pick-ins' out there. Fav!

Cool shot with the shadow. Very nice to protect most of them.

[Melvina McCaw]

[Nova]

He is a big one M! I can understand why he would like Ramon to be outside. (I've seen one of Gertrude's off spring take up house at her place this week ,my basement window. I'll have to capture her pic to share with you.)

[Lesley Barber]

Better you than me..!

[Monica]

I agree with your husband!

[Inga Johansson]
