Killer (pun intended) looking spider... Be awesome to toss a bug in and watch it wrap it up...

One of my "phobias" is a fear of spiders, so for me to even get this close is quite a feat, believe me. I'm very brave with the camera in front of me; remove it and I would be bolting! I don't really even like looking at the pictures afterwards when I take spider shots. We are still shooting for the photo contest, so today was "bug" day. One more month to go.

No kidding about the bug then. Get a fly and toss it in to one these guy's web and watch the spider wrapup dinner for later... You'll find a winner, imo....

Oh, I did get one today of a weird-looking spider "eating" another bug. I'll post it soon.
