Hi Rick, I haven't yet encountered either species in the wild. I live in eastern Canada and neither are up in my region. However, I do go down to Arizona in winter. Sadly, the tarantulas are dormant at that time of the year. There is a possibility that I might see a Recluse though. If I ever find one, I'll be sure to photograph it and put the photos in my gallery. Sorry to hear about your leg. That sometimes happens with their bite.

Out of all the spiders you have here I am surprised that you don't have the Tarantula, and the Brown Recluse. Both beautiful and potentially deadly. I know first hand about the recluse because I lost my left leg to one, so everyone should watch out for them.

Amazing spider photos. The best I have ever seen!

I'm just amazed that the pictures were taken with a Coolpix series camera. I have one that I've wanted to smash on the ground often enough for screwing up my shots. Nice pics and evidently great photographic skills given the equipment!

Thanks, Renee! I shoot a lot of spider photos, but I particularly like the flower crab spiders as they're often beautiful to look at. - bev

Great gallery! I accidently came across a flower crab spider on a daisy and had a heck of a time getting a decent picture. Yours are so good, I actually got goosebumps! Renee C

Thanks, Leszek. The Nikon CP4500 works great for macro photography.

Great macro pictures, can't belief made from Nikon Coolpix.

Thanks, David! As you can probably guess, I enjoy photographing spiders. Your comments just inspired me to sort my galleries a bit and also put up a few new spider photos. Thanks again, bev
