Taken with the aid of a jam jar. (no, not as a lens.

Horrible looking creature..... :05.18-flustered:

I have one that has made a web on my deck rails on the house that I have to get some shots of. I have named it Fred and told the wife that she is to leave him alone, he has already got at least 1 fly so he's earning his keep.

I don't like the ones that look like that, I prefer the jumping spiders. Nice shot!

Clever shot! Well done!

Creepy! Nice shot and setup! Looks like the spider cooperated by stepping over "arachnophobia" perfectly

Nice shot.

Thanks all for the comments.
@mitch, you are not far wrong. I think spiders must have a defence mechanism based on not moving when in danger. I tipped it out of the glass jar and it stayed imobile for about 4 or 5 shots, then scuttled off before I could get it to sign a model release form.
