Wow, he looks like he's scared and ready to bite! All 360*! ha, great macro Mike!

Thanks folks. Bev, I'm not at all versed in these things and I don't know what's really recognisable as an eye on this character (though most are obvious), but I gather that they can have up to 4 pairs! - Mike

I do have to agree, this one certainly gives goosebumps. Great capture but I'm glad you got to take the shot and not me :) Linda L

Hm-m-m, never thought of picking up a spider, Mike. The word "squish" goes through my mind. However, great macro! - maybe just a little too 'close & personal' :-) How many eyes does this creature have? Bev

Well, this is a great capture, Mike, even if I get goose bumps looking at it :-). Very appropriate title, as well. Helen
