Cool picture. I love Halloweenies.

very cool photo. Good lighting on the web.

Very nice picture!

What color is the spider in natural light?

Great shot.

First thought the cat was a shadow.

dang! is that a REAL spider?
it's as big as your cat! :lol:;)

very nice web photo.

Welcome to your nightmare, eh Dennis........ :thumbsup:

Nice pic. It gave me goosebumps. I'm serious! I'm scared of spiders! :eek:

That is one spectacular web. :)

Creepy.....great picture, BTW.

great picture! spiders effing freak me out. i would have torched the web and probably my house at the same time!

Excellent I love spiders and their webs are awesome. Nice pic, shame the cat got in the way :D

I freaking hate spiders. Cool pic though, very creepy!

Thanks for all the nice replys everyone. Jimellow, you're right. Thanks, I didn't know what it looked like in more natural light either. So I watched him building his web tonight and tried to get some better close ups.

Here he's starting his web.

Taking a picture of the full moon is harder than i thought. Anyone have any pointers?

I love that first pic with the washed out spider. Makes it look like a cool special effect and not that creepy. After looking at the later pics and seeing how large and ugly it is... ugh! I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that thing is alive near me.

El Pollo, they have much more to fear from us than we do from them! :)

You say that now, but just you wait till he lays eggs in your nose while you sleep! :hmm:

How true! And a hazard to be avoided! So I sleep in the house and let the spider do his thing outside. But it wasn't always so. During a two year all expense paid trip to the Panama Canal i spent two weeks a month in the jungle and slept on the jungle floor at night. Gained a profound respect for all Gods creatures, great and small (well, except for mosquitos). (Oh yea, and rats, but that's another story :( ).

A little spider with a marvelous enginnering talent is cool with me.

Best, Dennis

Hmmm ... there's something wrong with that sentence ... :p

totally missed that till you pointed it out... :crazy:

our new house has giant spiders everywhere...and they seem to be actually trying to catch me. i'm always walking into their damn webs.

He/she/it is tough to call when it comes to insects. :confused:

This thread started as a Halloween prank. Seriously, spiders are very dangerous. I'm fortunate that there's enough space here that I can leave him alone. If he moves too close to the house, he will be history!

It started as a prank?

Anyway, I love spiders. I will posting my spider tattoo soon. I hope that everyone who has commented in this thread about not liking spiders will still like me! People tell me that I scare them sometimes after seeing my tattoo. It's REALLY big!

I love that picture of that spider on the leaf. Wonderful. I think spiders are abslutely wonderful. Just fascinating and intriguing! These tiny little creatures can make the toughest, hardest, most brave, courageous, fearless, intrepid and bold men scream like a child! Spiders cause people to feel fear. They demand respect and Are respected!

If he moves to close to the house don't kill it!! Just move him further away!

These little spiderweb thingys are all over everything. The trees, the fence, the house, the yard, everything! I asked someone what they are. They said baby spiders . Oh sheeiit! Mother Natures arachnid dispersal system!

What's that sound in my head? Twilight zone music. :eek:

Argh...hairy spiders!
Make for good pictures, though.

thats a big frigin spider!

excelent shots

how long did it take to construct that web?
