Well I am not a fan of spiders, but you really got some great shots of them .. they are interesting if you can get over the yuck factor..

I normally say thanks for sharing, But I rather say " I commend you for having the guts to shoot them " lol

Now look what you've done. You freaked everyone out. lol,, nevetheless. They are really excellent captures. Great detail. I would show them to my wife, but she hates spiders, then I would be in the doghouse. Great work Teedlepeep.
