Outstanding close up of this fascinating spider, Melissa! Not to say I'd want to see him in my bedroom (!), but in their own outdoor habitats they really are amazing, strange and beautiful. And we need these guys -- without them we would all be knee-deep in bugs! Their webs are equally amazing, and you caught this very beautifully! #7886731

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
