And now about the spiders

[pilottttt]

This big and scary^{small and not scary at all} spider was discovered on our ceiling. It was my macro lens that made it big and scary ;)

Aww ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

It is adorable! And looks like it is wearing a bow in its hair. <3

It appears to be a type of jumping spider. They run around after prey rather than waiting in a web.

Re: Aww ...

[pilottttt]

It could very well be. At least we didn't see it weaving a web.

Sorry; not scared. It was also your macro lens that captured its delicate hairs and intricate patterning—it has almost the facial appearance of a barn owl.

[pilottttt]

By the way, yes, there really is some similarity.

Cutie!

[pilottttt]

;)

[gremdark]

Stunning!
(Your macro lens makes me want to rewatch Microcosmos)

[pilottttt]

Yes, I remember that! Our ordinary everyday world on this scale really looks like something alien.

Would you mind putting that picture behind a cut? I've got arachnophobia and my reading page is not fun right now...

[pilottttt]

No problem, I'll do it now ;)

[melannen]

If you want to see stuff that reinforces the "jumping spider = cute!!!" mindset, please permit me to recommend these short cartoons...

Oh, I think I've come across this before!

[rydra_wong]

What a gorgeous spider and what a gorgeous photo!

[pilottttt]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

A well-captured image of a photogenic spider.

(Still violating the Visible Spiders Rule.)

The cut tagging is excellent and the spider beautiful.

[pilottttt]

Before I thought to use a macro lens, it was "some kind of little thing sitting on the ceiling" ;)

[scytale]

What beautiful eyes!!

[pilottttt]

I was surprised that its eyes were so clearly visible.

[cmcmck]

What a wonderful pic!

[pilottttt]

Thank you!

[emeraldarrows]

Cute! He/she has lovely markings and I like the little bow on top.

[pilottttt]

It turns out that the macroworld is interesting and diverse!

[adafrog]

Fuzzy jumping spider! If not, still cute.

[pilottttt]

Apparently, yes. It's one of them.

[gothfvck]

Awwhh. I wanna pet the lil' guy! I've seen spiders like this before. Nice to view from a good camera!

[pilottttt]

To pet him will be difficult. I think you can fit several of them on one of your nails ;)

[iddewes]

Great shot! My husband is into photographing small critters too.

[pilottttt]

I'm glad you liked it!
Say hello to your husband for me!

[gingicat]

Cool how the eyes are mostly hidden in the stripes!

[pilottttt]

Yes! Actually, spiders have a lot of them, but it doesn't immediately catch your eye ;)
