Nooo, I have no macro thingies. I tried reversing my normal by just holding it backwards. Umm, yeah right... that worked. Sigh. I will have to buy a reverser.

edit:Note to self. Request spell check in suggestions forum.

This is something i need to do more of. Man I am traveling this week, maybe I can find something while I am traveling though.

The spider is a wolf spider and he was as big as my hand when he walked onto it. They aren't deadly but can cause a nasty bite wound and in some cases necrosis. My weapon of choice is an Olympus C-730 Ultra Zoom (i love the 10x optical).

As well as the venomous spiders, we also have 8 of the top 10 deadliest snakes in the world including the No. 1, The Fierce snake (hence the name).
I won't start on the vicious Koalas, Wombats and Kangaroos.
