ACK! I am deathly afraid of spiders, I usually don't even open the thumbnails, LOL. You fooled me on this one...I'm sorry she got flattened, but...not really :)

Great shot, though -- I have to admit!

  Amazing capture, Jim! Lucky you caught it before it was flattened! I hate spiders and this one is REALLY ugly! Still, ... a fantastic, detailed image! Nice work! :)

  I know this was a heart breaker for you...probably preparing for "spiderling dadhood," I'll bet. I feel it all the way from here! Wonderful lucky find and a beautiful capture...in the nick of time--as it were!

  Bit of an overkill, roadgrader for such a little spider? LOL
Cool capture, Jim!

  So sorry to hear about the death of this spider! Poor thing. I sure like the spiky legs you captured here.
