It was about 1 & 1/2 to 2 inches long. It was maybe 3-4 inches from the front of my lens. I was laying down on the grass at the edge of my patio & it was on the concrete.

Only the Wolf Spiders from South America can inflict serious, non-lethal bites. They will chase and attack prey.
The Black Widow and Brown recluse are the most dangerous ones here.

Great shot, Scott.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Those are pretty darn good, I think I would have probably mushed it when I was done....:angry:
I'm not afraid of bears, mountain lions, snakes, children, etc., but I HATE spiders.....:P

Why so serious?
