Spider

There's a saying in Madagascar that goes

Words are like the spider's web.
A shelter for the clever ones and a trap for the not-so-clever.

Yeowie, that's one mean looking spider, but as long as it stays outdoors, I wont't bother it, once in comes inside, that's a whole other story. Never have liked spiders. My paternal Grandmother's house always seemed to have a lot of them. And who got bit, always me and not just once but sometimes twice during the night and they would swell up and get so red. Probably why I don't like them even now.

Nice photo though.

Neat photo, Peter, and I love the Madagascar saying. I wonder if that's where the phrase "talked himself into a corner" came from?

OOOH! A spider.

Actually, I'm not afraid of most spiders so I think this photo is neat.

My youngest daughter cannot stand to kill a spider--if one is in her or my house she catches it and takes it outside! I don't hate them, but I won't go that far.

Nice shot Peter. I spent quite a while several days ago taking pictures of a spider and had forgotten them until I saw your photo on the post today.

Pete: Great picture of the big spider. I don't like spiders either Tom.
Your saying reminded me of Sir Walter Scott's saying. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive"
