So! Remember when I said I had plenty of spider pictures? And remember how you all believed me? Good times, good times.

Sorry for the late post. It turns out that my vast collection of spider pictures actually numbered in the… well, three. I found this picture in a pile of “B photos”, images of bugs that didn’t make it to the site because there was a better picture of that bug. You can see the original picture I ran of this spider here.

I love the lighting in this photo. It’s very… Morticia Addams, perhaps?

For those of you who are wallpaper-inclined, here’s a differently-cropped version that puts the spider down in the corner looking up at your desktop.

    I swear that looks photoshopped. I mean, not really, but it’s just too perfect. The eyes are really creeping me out, but in a good way.
