Mmmmm...not sure of accuracy here. Don't think it is a true spider...only one body segment....it's a phalangida or 'daddy-longlegs'....however gigantic! Just carrying out monitoring duties!

This spider, as you rightfully mentioned, is definitely carrying certain amount of evil change which is about to be tranferred to that menacing plant, you know, all this laws of conservation of matter... However, here http://www.pbase.com/eldarrio/image/92779183 we have an ultimate evil in face of spider which seems to be an absolutely uncotrollable substance and likely top of the food chain ?!

Extra Special! Superb composition. However, having said that, the subject matter is deceiving. They spider, the apparent subject matter of the photo is really quite a beneficial creature.... feeding on other, pesky insects, etc... a magnificent creature within Nature's grand food-chain design. But notice on what the good creature is standing.... is that a insect -eating plant? Could be that nature's good friend is about to be gobbled up. How evil is that.... the spider, thought of as being evil is actually good.... and the good is gobbled up by the sweet, beautiful green flora. A deceiving and evil world... even in Nature. Oy.
