Wow ... aren't these spiders really poisonous? To think that you may have to garden around them is scarey to me.

Now ... to the photo. I stopped because I really liked the black on peach, with the inner glow framing the spider. It is as if you placed the spider in the perfect spot. Great light.

ms4jah  Pro User  says:

wow, you got so many comments views and faves on this one. Sorry I took so long to comment, been meaning to get to this for days now.
I think this is especially good because the cool looking critter is on a nice flower and the combination makes it a real winner. The black spider is shiney with long thin legs held up on this little points with a huge body, and the colors between the flower petals are so varied. AND the subject or content is so simple, bug and flower and nothing else to distract.

Wow, I've never come across a black widow before! This is such an incredible capture. Plus, I'm insanely impressed by your courage! I'm scared of regular spiders, so this one would have terrified me. And as much as I would've loved to have gotten a shot, I would've been too chicken. x3
