Amila Salgado said...: Hi CT,
Obviously you are not a spider fan.
I like your nom de guerre. I bet you are a 12th Man fan.

Hi Tabib,
Thanks! It keeps a low profile and is quite harmless.

Hi Aufidius,
Thanks! Good to hear from another bug enthusiast.

Hi Java,
Thanks! It was quite tiny and was shot at life size.

Hi Flowergirl,
That is the exterior of our house.
Normally this one is found in barks resembling its body colour, but this particular individual has given up its camouflage to find easy prey that get drawn to lights.

Hi Delilah,
Thanks! Nightmares featuring this one would not be too cool, I guess!; 13 April 2009 at 15:18
Amila Salgado said...: Hi Dale,
Thanks! Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier.; 13 April 2009 at 15:21
Kalusudda said...: Very nice!; 13 April 2009 at 20:35
Amila Salgado said...: Hi Kalu,
Thanks! Good to hear from you!; 13 April 2009 at 21:34
Chrissy said...: Scary, I am not a fan of spiders, but this is a fantastic close-up. Have a wonderful week.; 14 April 2009 at 11:28
spookydragonfly said...: Hi Amila...That's one perfect capture, showing all the details of this dreaded little creature! As much as I love wildlife, I confess, I still cringe a little at these guys. I'm imagining your pond is full of dragons by now?!; 15 April 2009 at 23:15
Sunita Mohan said...: I know I should be saying,"how cool!" (because it really is) but all that's coming out of my mind is "aaaargh!". I can handle tiny innocuous looking spiders but up close and with those hairy legs ...!; 17 April 2009 at 10:21
Amila Salgado said...: Hi Chriss,
Sorry for the late reply. I took a few more head close ups of this and they look scarier.

Hi Kim,
You are not the only one who do not like spiders - so you are excused! I witnesses two dragonflies emerging yesterday and had quite a time photographing them. I will share them soon.

Hi Sunita,
Thanks for being honest! Spiders make very interesting macro subjetcs and I am afraid you will see aa few more of these in posts to come!

I am sure you are happy that Mumbai Indians have got off to a winning start.; 19 April 2009 at 21:56
合田學　（上坂眞信）　 said...: 私は、その形状と色に目を瞠りました。
形容し難い美しさです。
心惹かれます。
合掌。

I stared wide-eyed at the shape and a color. .
It is the beauty that it is hard to describe.
I am charmed.; 20 April 2009 at 08:33
Unknown said...: Great shot again Amila - do you know what species it is ? I find the spikes on its behind very interesting - never seen those on a spider before!; 20 April 2009 at 13:35
Amila Salgado said...: Hi Riyazi,
I have no idea what it is - I am awaiting a verdict from an informed source. The same species is in the post above.; 20 April 2009 at 22:56
