I AM THE WEBMASTER (perfect desktop)

IzzyNomad has identified this chap as "...Nephila pilipes, a species of golden orb-web spider...". Thanks for the help!

I promise I'm not exaggerating when I say he's about 6 inches tall.

If you like this shot, and perhaps even choose to use it (it makes a great desktop for example) please leave a comment. It's not like I'm charging, but my ego could use the boost.

Other great free wallpapers here.

Great job. Beautiful image.
Hey, folks ought to comment on as many pictures as they post anyway. Way too many think it's the job of others to comment.
Well, anyway, nice image.

I would agree with IzzyNomad.
The Golden Orb spiders are wide spread in South East Asia & Australasia. Generally they are BIG, but mind their own business, unless you walk into their web, of course.
Nice shot too! I have a photo of a different kind of orb spider I took in Queensland, when I used it as a desktop, it grossed people out!

I appreciate the framing, too many shots have the subject directly centered (I do this often). The backlit greenery is an excellent touch.

Hi amateur photobore,

I am the moderator of groups.yahoo.com/group/cocoonswapping

Are you willing when you trace cocoons to send them to me? If so, please let me know if I can do anything in return.

Cheers,
Friedrich from Holland sw.vanderwart@orange.nl

Hi Piranha2bak

Sorry, but it's likely to be a while before I'm in that timezone again and I'm way too scared of spiders to collect cocoons!

Hup Holland!
