 Handheld image taken with Tamron 90mm Macro.

This critter crawled out from a grill cover I was unfolding to put back on the grill!

I think this actually is what's known as a fishing spider - we've decided to keep a particularly large specimen in a terrarium for the winter. Ours is quite large & the kids love it.

On the other hand - I am so not a spider person. Quite terrified of them actually. But you have taken another great macro shot of this guy. Amazing detail!

Ha! Much like me, instead of running or trying to kill it, you go grab the camera. People must think us an odd sort. Well taken. Love his face.

We have one of these in our basement stairwell. I believe it's a wolf spider. Great shot.

Good grab. I don't know what it is either, but it's a cool shot.

I dunno what it is, but that's a great shot! See if the thing is interested in buying a print. :)
