Thanks Davide this spider's bite is worse than his bark . . . but . . . then again, he doesn't bark and has never bitten anything larger than a bug! (So Far)!

Beautifully done, Doyle! I'm not fond of spiders, either, but have to admit I find some of the furry jumping spiders kinda cute...just don't want any of them ON me!:)

Thanks for the comment Thilo . . . but he looks much scarier than he really is. Kinda' like a dog's bark is worse than his bite although, admittedly, I prefer not to be bitten by this one!

I'm not a hundred % sold on the frame, but this is a 'big league' macro! Phenomenal color DOF and focus.

Hi Doyle
What an amazing tarantula! Although I wouldn´t like touching him, he really looks beautiful. Great details and colours in this photo.
Best wishes,

Absolutely. The droppings are amonia based and evaporate and the neighbors never complain about the noise.

Just beautiful- I have always liked tarantulas, but we seldom see them here in the wild anymore. I miss them! Never saw one this beautifully marked, though. Your pet?

Pat:
Good shot you referred to . . . albeit a much smaller spider. I'd - suprisingly - be more worried about the spider you showed biting me than this big boy.

They have been found in South American trees with 24 inch leg spans preying on birds.

Robert:
The ones usually in Death Valley are the cinnamon tarantulas. They are very hairy, can be handled relatively safely by hand, and look scary. They don't often have the bright colors which do not help them in the desert. I appreciate your feedback.

Thank you. I should point out that Plato here has one of his legs at about 45 (or 46) degrees too! Appreciate your comments greatly.

Sure he's mine. My little grandaughter Cydney finally overcame her fear enough to hold him! (She also has a fear of spiders). Thanks for the kind words.

I saw one at Death Valley a couple of years ago that was crawling across the road I like to have take a picture of but in was on a hill and curve and no safe place to pull off. This is a nice one. Like the dof and image.
