Friend or Foe?...

Definitely friend, but they give me the eebie jeebies.

Me too Olive...I had my hands in, weeding and this appeared about an inch from my eye...frightened the life out of me...:>)

It's a Nursery web spider Moti - nice photo (you must have had 'anti-shake' switched on!).

lol...thanks

I was just reading about the spider Muddy...The female will sometimes attempt to eat the male after mating, the male, to reduce the risk of this, will often present the female with a gift, such as a fly when approaching in the hope this will satisfy her hunger...I watched a little video of this and he followed her around carrying the fly, she ate him anyway!....Why didnt he just leave?......MEN!!!...:>)

Oh Moti . . . hahaha! The moral to this story is . . . If your fly ain't big enough - take a cold shower!!!
. . . WOMEN!!! . . . ;-))

LOL...Good one Muddy!!!

Thats a great one Muddy, made me chuckle!!! Lovely shot Mot, but I really don't like spiders...Yuk, make me shudder.

Urgh, absolutely terrified of any spider....

Yuck! Don't like the look of him! Reminds me of the words of that old song - "C'mon lets crawl to the ugly bug ball".....

lol....:>)
