Phidippus Audax
This is simultaneously one of the cutest and creepiest spider pictures I’ve received to date. It’s such an adorable little juvenile Phidippus audax, it’s so cuuuuute!
And it wants you bite you in the eyeball.
You see the dilemma here, right? Right? I mean, on the one hand, “Awww, it’s so cute!” But on the other hand, even if it doesn’t bite you in the eyeball, you go to see who’s at the door and BIG FREAKING SPIDER, that’s what’s at the door.
Gyahhhh.
Thanks, Andrew!
P.S. Get the door. It’s GYAHHHH.

This picture is made even greater due to the white background blending with the page.

And the write up. Most days the write ups are better than the pics (and the pics are always awesome).

Thanks to this, I’m never looking through a peephole again!
But it is very cute at the same time.

My Grandma has that same problem in her front door, btw. heh

The write ups are often better than the pics.
However, today the picture wins. This could be because I’m an arachnophile with a particular penchant for Phiduppis audax, though.

Yeesh, sucky typo! Phidippus audax, not Phiduppis.

Thanks for the wonderful background. I think it may also prevent folks from borrowing my laptop…

Could there be a cuter place to find a tiny spider? I think not! He looks like a steampunk spider, living in his brass-lined home!
