I really hate spiders!

But still they are fascinating for a split second! We have so many Banana Spiders in Florida that they literally live with us!

I don't mind spiders at all, and like you are fascinated by the clever little creatures. This is a beauty, and a great photo of it.

[Merrelyn]

What a beautiful spider.

[Mike]

Ahhh yeuk!

Much to big, but super capture!

A pretty one, but I would steer clear of it.

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Carolinesdreams]

Just yukky but so well caught.

[GaryW]

Agree! But, great shot!

[Monica]

I share your feelings - I hate them, but I find them fascinating at the same time. Fortunately, we don't have as many, and they are mostly harmless.

[carol white]

I hate them, too.Fav😊

[Elizabeth]

Great shot but I loath them too.

[Pat Knowles]

That’s a really unusual spider...beautiful markings! I don’t mind spiders!

[haskar]

Great details. Love it.

[Kathy]

I like the details particularly the areas on the legs that look like mascara brushes.

[Tunia McClure]

I like Kathy's descriptions of the fuzzy legs as mascara brushes.

[Anja]

Great colors and detail, like the dots on the body and the hairy parts of the legs.

[Phil Howcroft]

superb photo , love the colours

[KazzaMazoo]

Ditto but what a spectacular close-up. Those feathery legs are quite stunning. Who knew spiders were in to accessorising :)

[Kim Capson]

Wow! This is absolutely stunning!

[Steve Chappell]

Great shot but I do hate those things too

[Virginia Stapleton]

Me too! Nice detail, though

[Melvina McCaw]

Creepy but great detail.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Wow! I'm not a huge spider fan, but I don't dislike them either. They are super cool to see up close and in such great detail though!

[Caroline]

Nice detailed shot of spider and web.

[Junko Y]

I do, too -- but that's an amazing capture of one! (and thx for reposting your comment and fav, with apologies for having deleted your first one)
