Got the grill out after church, fired it up, grabbed
the handle and let the top back down and this little
spider ran up my arm. I jumped! At first I thought
it was a Black Widow from the color and marking. I
then saw that it was not an hour glass. Whew... :-)

If that was in Australia I'd say you were lucky.. Our Red Back spiders are very poisonous and love dark places like under the toilet seat..I know two people who have found that out the hard way LOL..

Excellent macro shot, and that is a very pretty spider!! V

Great shot!
It does look poisonous though. Very much like our Redback.

Looks like it would make a widow of any female spider !
Luckily your Canon is a deadly tool :)

Bejeesus! That would make me need a clean pair of underwear!!! Up your arm? I'd have chopped my arm off before asking questions....saying that, it's a brilliant photo Scott, lots of detail and colour...and a great composition...V

Yikes, pleased its to cold in England for spiders this big, venemous or not.
Bill Ewart Jr17-May-2009 21:00
then you immediatly grabbed for the canon!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't have black widows there in Tenn. do you????
or do you?
Nicki Thurgar17-May-2009 20:44
Oh, I think I would have done more than jump...scream hysterically and then faint more like! 8~O Great close up!
Ann...17-May-2009 20:35
What interesting patterns on his back, must have given you a start though!!!
pkocinski17-May-2009 20:33
I would have jumped, screamed and ran! Great capture.
Johnny JAG17-May-2009 20:24
Too scary! Great shot though.
roberta17-May-2009 20:24
OH my gosh! I immediately thought it was a black widow!

beverley harrison17-May-2009 20:17
ugh...i woulda ran a mile!!

I, too, thought it was a black widow. Strange, the black widow has the hour glass and the recluse has the violin. Wonderful colors and detail.
