You can find these little spiders in the hedgerows, especially ones that are facing the sun, they sit in their webs sunning and waiting for their prey.

Good series Bev :) I dont know if we have Grass Funnelweb`s here. # 2 is my fav :)

Those photos are enough to send chills up one's spine. :eek6: A spider is the only critter I will not get close to. Kudos to you Bev. :thumbsup:

Thanks Knight and Mike,
funny actually, before i took up photography, no way would i stick my head anywhere near a spider,:eek: but to get a picture i dont even think about them like that, although one has to still run across the carpet and thats a different matter!!!:eek:

omg..... you gave me the chills just from the first post. You are way braver then i am i dont go near thos suckers if my zoom can't get it from a distance i dont bother. I have never seen that spider. Nice shots though.

Lol! thanks Heather.

LOL, Bev! I remember those earlier posts last year. At that time, you were shooting primarily birds, I was shooting mostly spiders and creepy-crawlies. Seems some things have changed in a short period of time :thumbsup:

Although I still haven't come to naming my spiders :)

Nice shots here. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
