My pet spider or, my living desk accesssory
Thursday, February 16th, 2006
I was sitting here, minding my own business and when I reached for my tea there she was. I’ve not seen her in a while and figured all of you who knew her in months past might like to say hi. She lives in various places on my desk.
I sprung into action and got my tripod set up and the 100mm macro on the camera for this one. She’s a jumping spider so I had to act fast before she jumped off the mug. Actually, I have no clue about gender but with eyelashes like these… well, maybe a transvestite arachnid named “Eddie.” Anyway, she hung out long enough for me to get a few shots off. What a sport.
Nice shot!
Thanks David. I’ll pass the compliment on to her, him, it.
YIKES! it looks big and hairy. I’m getting ythe creepy crawleys just looking at the photo. Hopefully the photo just makes it seem big. EEWWW! SQUEEL! It looks like one of those ones that jumps around.
Bonnie: it does jump but it’s very small and harmless. Been here for a while, my friend. Keeps me company. Of course, Kitty will eat it if it gets in her way.
ADORABLE!
Rosanda: Well, if you say so! ;) I guess she is when you think about it.
