You show great dedication getting down at nose-to-nose distance for the shot. Did he climb up on the lens?

A little bigger than any spider found in Ohio! (thankfully)

Looks like a big dude. How large?

I don't "liiike" spiders - but I do find them interesting. And this is a terrific shot, Steve. Love the POV and the shadow too.

Auditioning for a part in a scary movie?

Great shot, especially from the long end of the Nikkor 80-400 @5.6

Hope I don't dream about it.

I like how his butt it stuck up. Were you petering him? I like the long shadow and the color of his fur. Looks like he or she needs to eat something though!
