No need to shudder so much, they're very tiny and completely harmless. Thank you!

She's darling! It's almost as if she's got her hands to her cheeks and she's fluttering her eyelashes at you, like, "You really want to take my photo? I can't believe it!"

That's an amazing shot, really. It's so rare to see their mouth parts (if that's what the grey area is??). It's cute the way it has its head to one side, like a curious cat. This is one of those pics that begs a punny caption, like "Can haz fly nao, plz?"

My crippling arachnophobia is actually losing against how inexplicably cute this spider is.

I...I don't know what to say, other than, like Pixar did with the cockroach in Wall-E, you have managed to make something that would otherwise send me into fits of screaming fear very endearing! That's some feat

jsz In reply to tifosibella [2010-06-12 17:52:44 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. Helping people to understand them and thus get rid of their fear is one of the reasons why i take so many macro shots.
