Splendid Spider Beauty

I spotted a lovely splendid spider in the corner of my mother's neighbor's yard. What a beautiful spider! It was an awesome find, while it may scare some, I enjoyed looking at the colorful beauty of it and the cool web it had built.

Artist Reply: Thanks Christine! A oops for sending you the wrong reply a minute ago! That's what I get for typing when tired, I cut and pasted the wrong reply into your reply box. Sorry! I deleted it from the page site, but you can laugh I sent you 2 replies. I'm glad they like eating just bugs and not people!

I don't think I've ever seen a spider with such beautiful colors! I still don't like them, but it's nice to see the beauty in it! :o)

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: LOL! I like to look at them, just not have them fall, jump, crawl, or bite me. Still, this one was a stunner to see.

I am one of those you mentioned in your item bio. I have to admit, though, some are indeed, beautiful. Nice shot, Terry!

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thanks Carliss! Some spiders that have venon will freak me out, those I dispose of and run from. This one enchanted me and a used a zoom. LOL!

Great shot,Terry!!!

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thank you Joke! I wanted to get a closer shot, but would have got webs on me and destroye the webs, so settled for this shot. I miss finding colorful spiders like this one. I spotted this one in Delaware, US. I get the creepy and dangerous ones in Arizona. I stay away from those. Rather catch a toad or lizard.

WOW EXCELLENT CAPTURE

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thanks Loredana! The web was so large I could not get into the area it was at. I had to stand back about 5 feet to get the shot, just wished I had a better zoom camera. I didn't want to break the webs, still, got to oggle it with awe.

WHAT A BEAUTY!! and I love spiders! great shot!

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thank you Nelly! I love them as well, they are hard workers. Just have to watch out where I live for ones with venon. (Three nasty ones in my desert home area.) I dislike to kill them, but would not want to be biten by one either. This spider is a beautiful specium.
