What is this dreadfull creature I have in my PAD gallery you ask? Well, I was working on some images for a client when I heard something rustling on the floor. I thought it was a mouse, as it was making an awful lot of noise and not being very discreet. I have no problem catching mice in my house as this has been known to happen from time to time. I clear out some stuff on the floor and voila! I find myself face to face with a REALLY BIG snarling spider. This thing was large, like a super sized spider with legs the size of French fries, only more hairy and less appetizing. Under normal circumstances I would squish it with a shoe or something. But this thing was large enough that it might have decided to retaliate and beat me with a shoe in return. So I grab the nearest thing to me to trap it, which happens to be an empty plastic cup. It starts kicking around and making a commotion, to the point where it came close to knocking the cup over. So, doing what any photographer would do, I made it the star of my PAD for today. If anyone knows what kind of spider this is please let me know. If you want to get a better sense of size, you can see more images with objects around it for scale, here:
