A Visitor Sometime Round Midnight

2008.01.06

















One of my favourite spiders...the Huntsman. This one graced me with its presence a few weeks ago. I found him/her on the wall next to the bedroom window slightly sheltered beneath the lace curtain. I left her/him there for a day or so thinking of taking a few shots and then when the time came the visitor had disappeared...
then somewhere near midnight last-night this-morning the visitor made an appearance...I admit I was taken back a little as I left a room to be greeted by his/her presence but as you can see this visitor made a great model, not one movement while I shot away...and then this morning, gone, gone again...

Cherax Wow, that's some macro. Yeah Huntsmen are great. Not very bitey, luckily.

Madoc Amazing macro shots!
The amount of -creepy- details is astonishing!
You doesn't seem scared in any way by its presence...
Personnally, if I found that on my wall....: (
But they sure are fascinating to contemplate.
Thanks for sharing.

hail665 Thanks everyone for your comments, so nice to read appreciation for this spider...any spider...often people are just freaked out by the sight of a spider...though this one is a biggy the Isopeda (Huntsmans) is considered harmless and is reluctant to bite...and if found let them be and they will take care of other insects for you...or if you must remove them remember that you are bigger than they are and they are more afraid of you so take it easy on them...
