Trouble in paradise

Look what I found in my mask case!

[judith deacon]

!!!!!!!!!! Can't even look at it. Points for bravery taking the photo!

[Graham Thresher]

Wow. It looks very dangerous. Fav

[maree_sanderson]

is that a red back?!...good thing you spotted it...cool looking one...never seen one with white before...

[Debbie]

Wow.. thats a ripper

[ShirleyB]

Strange looking spider. I have never seen one as colourful as this - and don't really want to either :)

[Margo]

Excellent shot Ugg!!

[Denise Wood]

Definitely not a good find - but great shot :)

[Mona]

I suppose this beautiful spider (young redback ???) is in the box of the diving mask. I just imagine how it would feel if it would be in the mask you are submerged and it crawels in sight. I know I have a bit too much imagination. Fav for me.

[Elaine]

Yikes I really hope you didn't have the mask on when you spotted it.

[Hazel]

Well done for finding it - in both senses of the word! Like the clarity and its reflection.

[Babs]

Not a good thing to find anywhere let alone a mask case.

[sally agnew]

Yikes, that is not good, cool reflection never the less :)

[Merrelyn]

Fabulous capture and reflection. The mask looks a bit worse for wear :)

[carol white]

Yuk! Great capture

[Tom]

Great capture, does it still live?

[bkb in the city]

Yikes

[Kathy]

Beautiful spider. Great clear shot. The thought of it crawling around while the mask is on and your underwater...very creepy indeed. I hope this isn't a dangerous spider, but figure since it has the patch of red there's a good chance it is.

[Annie D]

What - a - beauty!!!!
I love red - back spiders and she is very pretty

[Annie D]

@randystreat poisonous not deadly...not good for toddlers or eldely though

[Tricia O'Donnell]

Great capture, I haven't seen red black spider with white before

[phototart]

Is this a juvenile Red back? Most of our spiders are tame - thank goodness.

[Wylie]

@mona65 way too much imagination. Fortunately it was hard to miss!

[Wylie]

@paulmann apparently there are no poisonous spiders or anything else on the Solomons so I needn't have been worried. I set it free:)

[Wylie]

@randystreat found out later that there are no poisonous spiders in the country so nothing to fear. No spiders suffered in the taking of this picture!

[Barb Newcomb]

Creepy!

[Walks @ 7]

Respectful shot. Love the reflection. I don't care for spiders but always try to catch and release them to anywhere else then near me.
