Spiders ------- can you hear me from all the way over here, a long way from the spiders over there?

It has been mentioned by my nearest and dearest that I am a tad peculiar in this respect. However my request for another pet spider has been denied by herself, who claims that a potentially hazardous scenario could occur if I had a spider again...

I don't know what she is talking about, my Ruby only escaped a couple of times and she never wandered far from me. It is kind of nice waking up with a Tarantula cuddled in for the warmth.

I like the fact I put a handful of pics up and this has now turned into a spider thread I'm enjoying looking at the pics though, all these people with better cameras than me haha.

And Jayne you're right they are beautiful, especially when examined close up. I've really started to appreciate the world of entomology lately, am brushing up on my identification skills and photographing practically every bug I see when I have my camera on my person, just so I can blow the pics up on the computer and have a good nosey at all their intricate details. Hold on, I sound like a right geek don't I

I do think that's why I'm most interested in birds, insects and the like, they're so accessible, you find them everywhere. Just yesterday morning I sat up in bed and there was a Jay on the conservatory roof, put a grin on my face (they're normally very elusive).
