OMG aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggggh

Fantastic macro, even more creepy when you see the hairs

Further to our very first conversation I think, in case you have forgotten, we need to use wide angle lens for our spiders!!!!!

What did you do Guy. Ggggrrrrrrrr. Upside down/backside. Cheers, Christien

someguyinmasset, on August 29, said:

Hi Dianne,Miguel and Helen. Glad you like my "little pet".

And Christien, although it is rumored that I load pictures upside down or backwards this picture is not meddled with. Thanks.

Guy, this photo is simply fantastic! This spider looks like it has a fur coat plus some unruly hairs that look like little cactus bristly thorns. I am impressed that you know the name of the spider. I have a problem in looking in the spider files, the EEK, A SPIDER problem grabs me. I also have a problem looking at snake identification.

And Guy,I saw that comment you left for me over there in Helen's photo of the cockatoo flock and I agree with you that she shouldn't delete it. I have never seen anything like that before. Even the black crows we have around here don't do that! Very wow. So mum's the word, eh?

Thanks for the kind comments on my latest photos and yes, it was too late for snout to mandible resuscitation.

Later, Jean in NC

Yikes! A col close-up, b ut I don't think I'd like to meet one!

Cheers, Tony in New Zealand

someguyinmasset, on August 29, said:

Thanks Jean, I didn't know the name till I looked, and that is the family name, her real name is Igorella.

Don't be scared now Tony, this is a polite Canadian spider. Guy.

LOL, naughty boy - many have commented on the Latin species name, but no one else but perhaps marbiz has any idea what your other word here is! The poor girl, exposed for all the world to see!

Helen Stalder, on August 29, said:

..... in fact I do know what that means in all its gory glory.

kamaly, on August 30, said:

wow, Guy: all the interconnected Comments here on Panoramio. I got a comment from someone who had commented on your page after seeing it on jean's I think. Well he had commented on this shot that I'm pretty sure you'll love!

Nice one! Terrific macro! I don't like spiders especially when they come into your hair when you walk against a web. Regards, Jan

someguyinmasset, on September 4, said:

Thanks Stefan.

Thanks too Jan, I figure spiders don't care much for humans either. Putting the finishing touches on a nice new web and some clumsy human walks into their web and the poor spider is tangled in their hair.

Hi Pennington, thanks very much for that! Guy.

kamaly, on October 7, said:

Guy - told myself I wouldn't clutter your pagewith any more of these, but it's so chilly out these days, and since you posted her for all the world to C, only fair Igorella gets admitted to the Club, too! Igorella, the ItC BitC Spider. :)

someguyinmasset, on October 8, said:

Don't mind the Clutter at all Kamaly. Nice little take on itsy-bitsy.
