Hello hairy legs

[firstlight (Tony)]

An orb spider decided to set up shop on the deck... Hairy little bugger.

He/she is a hairy little bugger, you would reckon he/she would buy a comb to look a bit more presentable, nice capture.

I always assume that the big spider is female. Yeah she is pretty... ugly. I will try to get better shots tonight.

Got a couple of shots of our mate, the orb spider on our deck.

Had a bit of a view of the mouth parts at one stage when shooting the underside of her.

Finally, a full res crop of the underside of old mate. Crap jpeg quality though.
