That last photo will give me nightmares. Do you know what kind of spider that is?
@Faithless1 Spiders, in general, are fine. That big woolly one might make me think twice about turning my back. One summer when I was helping my grandmother in her garden, I picked up a 10 lb rock. There was a Blackwidow spider on it. I quickly released the rock. I later found that the spider was already dead, but it unnerved me a bit. Never can be too careful.
funny, AstralSmoke, i had a similar sensation, even though i'm usually quite cool with arachnids.
The last one is a wolf spider Hogna ssp most likely.. didn’t realize I shared the blurry one.
Nice shots of an interesting sample of critters.
