I must be a glutton for punishment, because as much as I despise spiders, I can't help but clicking on this thread. These are amazing, and I'm cringing because I never want to be close enough to photograph any kind of arachnid. I really like the 5th one. He almost looks cute. Almost.
 
Superb macros, fantastic detail. They really are from another world aren't they?
 
#5 is outstanding

Creepy. Well done!!

Fantastic shots, although, I am glad I am not frightened of these critters or I'd have nightmares for weeks.

These are really glorious

Thank you, wyogirl, JustJazzie, dvjproductions, Pejacre, The_Traveler, greybeard. Much appreciated.

wyogirl - the bigger the cuter. The tarantula is the cutest. I let one come onto my palm once :D
 
Once again, awesome shots! I love the first one.
 
Amazing shots. Wow, really stunning. I should macro shoot my scorpion one of these days.
 
Love the first of the fishing spider, I've never seen that before. The rest are pretty awesome too. I'm not a big fan of spiders but your macro shots of these creatures are facinating.
