Exceptional capture of this little beauty, Howard!Dianna Murphy April 15, 2008
Spiders kinda freak me out but I had to open this as you can tell it's exceptional. The clarity and color are just fantastic. Outstanding macro. #5793027Ellen Hodges August 30, 2010

I can rarely get myself to click on a spider thumbnail because they give me the creeps BIG time!!! But I couldn't resist this one - and I'm not disappointed! The detail here and the colors are fascinating to observe! #8876440Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
