this thing put the willies right up me!even though it was only about 13-15mm long! i believe its a tube web spider, what its doing crawling round my garden in feb ill never know.had a lot of dust and fibrous material draped on it, so did a lot of pshop work. it was also still alive i think, once it started to heat up under my lamp, it began to move!!!! this is a small one, too, ive seen them twice as big this summer past! not the place for big spiders is britain..... d70, and my 28mm macro lens from yonder years, and extension tube.

Oooowee! He jumps right out at you! Excellent macro, what detail! I like spiders, I find them fascinating- as long as they're not crawling on me! LOL Nice PS work too. I can't tell U worked on it. Thanks for sharing such a creepy side of Caedes!

I wanted to travel the world and then I discovered the beauty my own country had to offer. Explore your world.

This is fantastic! And I HATE spiders! Reminds me of Shelob in Lord of The Rings.

Waaah thats darn scary lol. I normally dont mind spiders ( which is as well as I am the chief catcher in my house) but this one would have me sitting outside till he decides to vacate the house :))

What an excellent picture.
