How large? I am not bothered by most, and admire many, but this one gives my dinosaur brain a chill. Good eye. V

Milkweed always seems to have some interesting multi-legged creatures crawling around on it. I like the angle on this shot!

Awesome picture. Great contrast of the spiders color compared to the vibrant green of the leafs. A lot of people are scared of spiders and not aware of how an important role they play in our ecosystem. Perfect shot. V
