Very beautiful Spider

[lazzara8478]

Before moving to Hawaii last month we stopped off in NC. My Mother in law lives in the country... there are bugs everywhere!! This is the one bug I didnt mind and didnt feel lie squashing.

I took this pic with my little ol Kodak easyshare.. I think it turned out pretty ok though.. enjoy.

Aren't they called something like "orb spiders"?
We don't seem to have them here in Germany. I have only ever seen them in photos taken by Americans here on TPF.
Nice, but one piece of advice: watch your backgrounds when you take close-ups like these, and don't include anything in your background if you can somehow avoid doing so. For despite the fact that it is blurred, it still is too distracting.

i used to play with spiders when i was a kid, as big as ur palm. but now, the only spider that i'm not scared of are the ones that are smaller than a penny.
it just freaks me out when i see those big ass spiders, especially on my bathroom and room!!!!!!!!!!!

neat shot though. i have some spider pics, but the small spiders

I like these shots. I get the impression the spider is gigantic, but it's hard to tell without anything in the shot showing scale. How big is this spider really?

Yeah, sure, you don't have them in Germany. Why don't YOU come over here and grab and move the dang thing into a better spot to photograph it.... ale:
