Funnel Web Grass Spider

After I posted spider web images yesterday, Gary O'Dell http://www.pbase.com/sagecreekimages/profile)
suggested I take a spray bottle out with me to enhance the spider webs with misty waterdrops.
I did, and not only did I get some pretty nice spider web images, the little Grass Spiders (Funnel Web Spider family) came out to greet me!

Wow, an impressive series. I usually hear about funnel webs in Australia on those tv nature programs. Are these as deadly?? Great series, especially the final macro with excellent detail and lighting. Voted.
