Tuft-Legged Orb Spider (on a stick) reverse-lens-macro

[AgentDrex]

This was found on my landlord's garage. They don't seem to be aggressive but when prodded with a blade of grass, they do get defensive. Pulled the blade out of my hands. So I took this photo:

Nice, kind of like a spidy lightsaber.

 

[AgentDrex]

Luke, I...am...your...spider

 

[Virtuosos]

God, spiders are freaky... great capture, I would of killed it before thinking of taking a photo lol.

 

[AgentDrex]

Well, I was close enough for it to kill me, if it were to have the ability to do so...which it doesn't luckily...

 

[AgentDrex]

No one caught the Jeff Dunham reference in the title?

 

[Malone]

Jalapeno on a stick? No, can't say that I did... har de har har..

TBH, I was too creeped out by the freaky spider to pay attn.

 

[AgentDrex]

Its just an Orb spider...widows would creep me out a little...

 

[Malone]

Widows really aren't much of a threat; Brown Recluse tho - watch out! ::shiver::

 

[AgentDrex]

Yeah, those would creep me out as well...

[AgentDrex]

Only because it doesn't have a human in it...
