So furry

When I was at the butterfly sanctuary, they had a bunch of other cool insects out on display. Like this furry little tarantula. Well, it wasn't so little.

It was so furry and I wondered how soft it was. I wanted to just pick it up and hold it. I used to have a pet tarantula, so I am not scared of this species of spider. Now the black widow, that thing is scary. They had one there on display, but it was hiding, so I didn't get any shots of it.

Last year this stupid thing was outside making a web on my front porch. That was the time that I decided I needed to call the exterminators out and make sure I never see one of these things so close to my home again.

They had a whole ant colony of leaf cutter ants as well. I thought it was pretty dope cause they had a bunch of tubes running all over the place and the ants were carrying little pieces of the leaves down the tubes to their colonies. It must suck to be an ant and your whole purpose is to cut pieces of leaves up and bring them back home for the colony.

They had some pretty cool looking scorpions there that were black light reactive. I tried to get some shots of them with my flash, but they just looked like normal scorpions and it wasn't as cool. So I had to bump of my ISO and open up the aperture for this shot.

Then there was this ugly spider. Look at those thorny things on its legs. I have no clue what kind of spider this is, but if I saw it running around, I would make sure to stomp the shit out of it. This thing is disgusting looking.

Well, I hope that you like the pictures of these ugly monsters. There were a few other insects, but the place was full of little kids running all over and licking the glass, so it was hard to get any good shots. Kids are weirdos.

Sort:  

Dude, that's one of the best images i have ever seen of the Black Widow's hour glass! Great shots bro!

Thanks man. I got so close to that stupid thing when I was taking the photos of it. It was on my front porch.

Terrifying!!!

nah, they were all behind glass. I think a kid would have picked them up and eaten them if they werent

Glass is good but they can still make my skin crawl by just seeing them!

Those are lovely shots! Insects are a really interesting subject.

If ever I'm going to encounter a black widow, I'll probably do the same thing as you did. I couldn't imagine getting bitten by that terrifying thing,

I think the last photo is a wolf spider if I'm not mistaken. These creatures are really fast. There are times when they enter our house but they would usually die from a flying flip flop.

Ya. Black widows are crazy little spiders. I would hate to get bit by one.

They're terifying, but the photos are awsome!

Thank you

They are creepy but fascinating at the same time, the shot of the scorpion is great, I wouldn't want to run into one of those at night.

Shit.. I am arachnophobic, these photos make me very alert. I admire your ability to have had a tarantula as a pet, it makes me very anxious just thinking about it.

Marvelous clicks, I have never seen a Spider in this way of shots. Great Thoughts I really feel motavtion when I see these pics. Keep it up friend.
