Post a Commentamazing shots, I am jealous.
I like #12 best; clear shot of silk and spider! But I have to protest that just because she does not ALWAYS kill and eat her mate does not change my impression of a black widow spider! What does a guy have to do to get some love??
YIKES!
Beautiful photos, but I hope you were a safe distance away!
Incredible pictures. *Faith you don't know what you're missing, lol. I don't like spiders at all, so this is grand to view without getting near them =D The photography is really amazing! =)

WOW! I've never seen a black widow up close and personal!
I have so many of these beautiful spiders around and often in my house I have decided to find a way to charge rent. Great macro shots! I wish I could borrow your lense.
Gorgeous shots! They really are beautiful animals, though I don't think I'd get so close and personal with them.
Absolutely fascinating and amazing photos! Thanks
