Sept. 13, 2004 - Spider's lair

Dexter, Michigan

This spider built its nest inside the railing hole on the post of a split rail fence at the local Metropark.
For some reason, this reminded me of the old Tarzen movie where Johnny Weissmuller wrestled the
giant tarantula in the cave after Boy got caught in the web (well, at least that's how I remember it).


other sizes: small medium original auto

that's an intricate web. I like the way the spider has got its back to you as if
to say "Go away human!" :)

Unlike Russ, I hate spiders ... but LOVE this photo!
Great macro Steve ...
I'm outta here!

Great detail! Look at the strong web, and it's somewhat waterproof.

I'm a fan of the Tarzan movies, too; the movies with Johnny Weissmuller. A few years back they were being shown on Saturday mornings.

You people are freaking me out with these SPIDER PICS! But damn, Steve.. this is great. I love the different view (even if it is hard to look at).. and I have to say.. i LOVED those old Tarzan ones with Johnny only. He was the best...
