A different sort of beauty .....
Well the mystery is at an end. My Latrodectus bishopi has revealed itself to be a male. Now I just have to find him a girlfriend.

I'm with Amanda. I can handle snakes and bats, but you can keep the spiders.

I used to have arachnophobia until the day I suddenly realized that my fist was larger than that SPLAT !!!
Hey ! I DON'T have that fear anymore !!!!! 
Sorry, Paul, I don't squish them anymore as the fear left me a lo-o-o-ng time ago. Live and let live, I actually treat them like moths and catch and release outside.

Great pics!
I love seeing spiders in the garden. This time of year we have some big ones around (well big by UK standards which is small compared to the rest of the world  |

Hubby took a couple of pictures of ours as he was playing with the camera recently.

Spiders are cool. If I had gone into animals rather than plants, and not done Amphibians I would have studied spiders.
