Although I don't like spiders, i can't deny how great this shot is. However, I prefer to see it in image rather than live ... woooohhhh!

Stunning capture. I thought those things only lived where they grow bananas. Useful trivia: If you pet them and rub your eye, the hairs will gradually work their way through the cornea and into the inner parts of your eye.

Dainty looking creature, tip-toeing over the pebbles. Doesn't look ominous at all.
