30 Doradus a bit of light relief in these awful times.

Sorry Mods, couldn't resist. Best viewed from as far away as possible.

Never seen the Tarantula at quite so high resolution, it’s like it’s been shot from mere metres away!

Hi Colin, I was about 2 metres from it. In the Amazon rain forest.

I love a good spider shot and that is a beauty. Is that the bird eating gigantic kind ? Hunting spiders seem to eat anything of any size they can get a hold on.

Hi Dunk; actually, according to our guide, they are not aggressive toward
us, preferring to hide. The flashlight surprised this one, and it remained absolutely still, before scuttling off when the flashlight swung away from it.
Hi Ray, no, this is your standard common or garden variety of tarantula, about 130mm across; the bird eaters are around 180-210mm.
