A Lurking Garden Spider!

you're a brave photographer ;-)

Ha, ha...........I'm always ready to run if it moves!

SCARY close-up Keith.

super macro

Fine and unusual Macro ! Like it very much, Keith !

Whow....the waterdrops on the hairy legs are stunning...I wish I could like her... :)

We must be grateful that man is the measure of all things as Protagoras affirmed. It looks like a menacing monster. In any case, I have always been apprehensive of all animals that have more than four legs. Five already seems excessive to me. Warm greetings, Anton.

Die Spinne liegt auf der Lauer und wartet auf Beute. Klasse mit den Wassertropfen!

that’s a monster

What a beasty and a what a great capture Keith,

Yikes! As long as it stays there that's fine! Almost too clear Keith...it made me shudder!!!
It is of course, a great close-up :-))

Thanks folks...............I'm sorry if this lovely spider frightened anyone. I'm quite happy taking photos of them but I'm always ready to run away if they make a move towards me :-O

Wow, the leaf isn't big enough to hide the monster! The hairy detail in your photo is amazing!

Thanks Gudrun.................I know how much you love them :-))

Thoroughly enjoyable, Keith!
