I'm not actually a big fan of spiders. Somehow, though, this guy doesn't seem quite so scary lit up with a flashlight and shot in close like this. Almost cuddly?? (not)
Well, if even I can look at it without scrabbling for my mouse (SCROLL DAMMIT SCROLL!), I guess it's not that bad. It has a sort of muppet effect (dude, what's UP with those massive face-thingies?), though if the thing moved, I'd be logging off immediately.
How interesting, everyone (here and on Flickr) refers to it as a he. Actually, it's more likely a she. Black Widows aren't the only spiders to consume their mates. Great shot! I wish I'd had a macro lens for the two spiders I've captured so far. The detail is so impressive.
