I don't mind critters or bugs... but seeing images like this, even for the second time, gives me the creeps!!!
But with that said, these are fantastic images, Sandy and something I would never ever have seen!!!! Thank you!!!

What a fascinating set, Sandy! It didn't freak me out at all. But then I grew up in a bug hunting family! Spiders too of course. My favorites are the jumping or wolf spiders.

Sandy, you are brave. I would have seen that spider, screamed like a girl (I am a girl), and ran away. I don't mind most bugs but spiders, especially large ones, give me the willies. Good job on those photos!

All wonderful shots. I'm really glad you posted the series and not just one of a not at all gross, but quite natural and rarely seen occurrence. Well done!

Sometimes I get excited and rush shooting. If I can just settle down and really look, I will pick up things like this. When shooting with a friend or two, somebody is going to find a treasure to share. Glad you liked these gross creepies.
