Macro Monday: Don't look if you hate spiders

This spider was hanging right next to my ear for about ten minutes before I noticed.  I was able to stop shaking long enough to grab some photos, then I screamed like a little girl as I ran back to the car. 

I'm not good with spiders.

This is only just a macro shot ... the spider was huge.


I can't look at these any more.  Even the photos freak me out.


You will find much nicer macro photos at Lisa's Chaos.

  1. I wouldn't be good if this sucker was hanging by my ear either. You came through and delivered these striking images in spite of the fright. That's either dedication or a bit of creative crazy (both are good things).

  2. Have you noticed that Macro Monday sometimes has inadvertent themes? I have spider pics today too. And I've seen one other post with a spider in it.
    And now my true feelings... ewwwwww!!!!

  6. Oh man, I don't think I could have brought myself to photograph this thing. You're a brave soul.

  7. I would have taken 35 shots - because my head would have been averted for all of them, and my eyes closed, and I'd be about a kilometre away!

  15. Spiders creep me out too !
    I don´t think that I have had the nerves to stay and take photos on that spider.

  17. These are great photos! I'm the same way, the camera squashes the fear a bit but then I'm off and running and maybe shaking as I look at the photos later, lol.
