lol, I thought it was literally going to be a bird eating a spider but this is just as good. Love the detail in the hair etc. do i see 10 legs? or do the front two count as hands..I dont know much about spiders.

Very cool . Man..what a spider.

 

[doenoe]

the front two are called pedipalps. In scorpions they have grown to be the claws. If i got my facts straight. But it was something in those lines.

So crisp makes me run away on the opposite direction that thing came from... Good shot!
