I love spiders and they look fantastic.
I had one for a while but by the time I got her she was third hand and getting old.She died
They look great so furry.They are different species are they?

Thanks for sharing! Spiders both fascinate and scare me. These pics are about as close as i would ever want to get to one...

Nice spiders

Im always chasing them around the house with my camera while my wife looks on in disbelief!

Why? There not out to get you and I will tell you a secret,you got more chance of me putting my hand in a spiders enclosure than touching a Woodie Cant stand them,its only sincr I have been with herps that I have had to tolerate them (yuk)

I was a cruel girl when I was younger I use to pull the legs off Daddy long legs,I would never do that now.
What sort of spider is that Strange 1?

 

[jessop]

Is that why you moved onto snakes? :lol: No legs to pull off :wink: :twisted:

Yeah that was a tiny huntsman, I was laying 2 inches from him to get him to fill the frame.

No Jessop I was fasinated by all sorts of animals as a chlild my mum could of killed me..he he.
The one thing I did that was really stupid when I was 5 was try to pick up a Brown even though I new it was a bad idea.
Then have to watch my dad kill it with a rake That day has stayed with me.
That was a good one Jessop :lol: :lol:

 

[jessop]

LOL! yeah i wasn't the nicest little boy either... I remember many battles with bull-ant colonies and jumping-jacks. (i didnt win em all) lol. I think it's natural for youngsters learning about mortality to wage wars on insects!

I loved preying mantis I use to collect them and Christmas beetles but unfortunatly I dont get to see the beetle any more.
