Oops! that's a bit huge. sorry. It's a photo I took of a hornet dragging off a spider. It was crawling up the outside our lounge room window, but I got hubby to hold a rug against the inside to form a backdrop so you could see it clearly .

Just the beginning - i usually take wild bird pics , but sometimes spiders present as interesting , macro-telephoto ?

with sometimes quirky effects

Okay the subjects a bit blurk, but you take one he!! of a good photo

Did you check out papermoons links - interestingly terrifying. I am not scared of spiders as such, and I would never harm them, but blissfully happy they usually keep their distance LOL

Yes , thanks for drawing my attention to those links - one of them was about a huntsman spider walking on a car and getting picked off by a magpie bird

The spider looks similar to my pic of a spider on a dark background , that was actually shot while also walking on the side of a car - do such spiders have affinities with motor cars ?

I had to extensively edit ie gamma etc my pic because was so poor in raw form

I will try to find the original image - that will show clearly was on a car
