Here's just some pictures of spiders that I've taken over the past few months. I like taking pictures of spiders because it's fun to see how close I can get to them without making them move, therefore causing me to run away screaming.

...Except for the tarantula and scorpion. Those ones aren't scary.



Feel free to share your pictures of spiders (or other arthropods if you wish) here if you want.

Great spider shots....I have about a zillion house spiders in my house and garage, and three Usumbara orange baboon tarantulas and an emperor scorpion in my reptile room.

They don't really shoot it; they just brush it off with their feet so that it goes onto your hand. I've had this done to me a few times before.

If you don't touch it and just wash it off (without rubbing it), then the irritation is minimal.

It is real, and it's alive. It's an emperor scorpion, which is a pretty docile species. With the tail stretched out, that one was about 8" long.



And great photo, Jessnick!

I shouldn't have even looked at the pictures. I am scared to death of big spiders and scorpions.:%)

Ok, I dont mind spiders,
but that Scorpion is just plain creep city.
It looks like some creepy critter from the jurassic (which is probably where it came to be).
Yuck, yuck, chills, shivers, creepiness all over.

This spider is missing a couple legs.

That whole 'revulsion-compulsion' thing, I expect....or was it to hear that in a typical suburban neighbourhood, there are an average of 20,000 spiders in a block?(if you assume 40 houses on each block, that is about 500 per property)
