The Itsy Bitsy Spiders

When I saw this spider’s web at first I didn’t realize that all the tiny dots around the nest were teeny tiny baby spiders until I got right up on it with my camera.

  1. wow – amazing and kinda gross at the same time, unless you think of it from a charlotte’s web perspective, then it’s all cool.

  2. That’s a fascinating picture, Joey. You have a very keen eye. I’ve never seen baby spiders on the web; have seen what seemed like millions of them crawling around on rocks near a great lake in NYS.

  3. While it’s an absolutely fascinating photo, the mama scares the bejeebies out of me. Almost looks like she has the face of a tigress….or am I looking at the wrong end?

  4. I love it. I should submit my picture. I got so close Joey that you can actually see the hair on his legs. Everyone I have shown the picture to flips out over it. Great picture Joey. Glad you posted this one. Tarantulas are also awesome.
