And it is very tiny too, only about 5 mm. Thank you!

Oh really? I thought it was a big one. You said little in your comment, but who knows, some people call spiders little that I'd call giant
Alright, 5mm is cute
But then you must have an awesome camera to take such a photo! What camera do you have?

Oops! I forgot to add it to my comment. I use a Nikon D90 with a Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG lens with a selfmade diffuser mounted on the built-in popup-flash.

Wie hast du dir denn deinen diffuser gebastelt?

Das ist im Prinzip nur eine konische PapprΓΆhre, die vom eingebauten Blitz aus das Licht zum vorderen Ende des Objektivs leitet. Das vordere Ende des Diffusers ist mit milchigweisser Plastikfolie von MΓΌllbeuteln abgedeckt.

Jumping spiders (and similar) are the only spiders I like.
I love this little photo!
It looks like the little guy's eyeing you and asking, "what did you just say?".

No problem.
I swoon over the tiny jumping spiders but I go on a psycotic rampage if I see anything else loose near me.

Hehehehe, I'm still alive XD.
I have taught your picture to my brother this morning and has left with chills XD. It should be a thing of family genes. But I, can't stop see her, despite the fear they give me, fascinate me. Indeed, it seems that she's scared XD! As if to say "Oops ... You scared me."
PD: Excuse my bad, bad english

All right. Which kind of spider do you like the most?
π: 0 β©: 1
jsz In reply to lord-eredar [2010-06-12 23:10:19 +0000 UTC]
Brachypelmas in general because they are usually kind of calm and easy to handle

Well, atleast they don't run around like crazies.

You wouldn't hate spiders if they were giant and about to eat you?

lol i only hate bugs cuz theyre small and i cant see em if i could see em then i wouldnt be afraid idk its weird XD

Windestaenzerin In reply to kurotsuki-chan [2010-06-12 21:56:30 +0000 UTC]
But if you can't see them, you can't even know if they are there at all...
I only hate the big spiders. Those 5-10 cm things that are scrabbling about in our house.
But the bigger the spiders in our house, the less do I care about smaller ones. So maybe one of those Harry Potter spiders could cure my phobia

A bear-like spider comes into your house and is about to step on you because you're in its way and that's much better than a little spider that is very unlikely to go in your ear
Alright

Who knows, maybe it would eat humans? It might build a web in your door frame and catch you when you go out...
