Artist's Comments
I had to chase this little bug-eyed monster around one of the flower boxes on our balcony for several minutes before I got a decent shot at it.
This little spider was pretty shy and always tried to hide on the opposide side of the railing. As you can perhaps guess from the picture, this spider had excellent eyesight and so it was hard to take a picture without it zipping away again. This picture also showed me the limitations of my 16-105mm lens for macro shots. I had to use a 100% crop to get a big enough picture of the small spider. It shows in the limited sharpness of the picture. Pity. I hope I can afford a dedicated macro lens in the near future. Picture taken with a Sony Alpha 700 and a Sony 16-105mm lens.

If a man is in the forest, and there isn't a woman around, is he still wrong?
How big is it? I can't imagine i'd be happy to see a spider that looks like that on ANY day of the week

We frequently have even smaller spiders on our balcony (about 6 mm) but those are virtually impossible to take pictures of.
Mind you, in Germany, there aren't any dangerous spiders, so for me it's basically "live and let live".
One night last year, I stumbled across one HUGE spider in our kitchen. That one was almost 8 cm in diameter (fortunately just very, very long legs and a comparatively small body) and thus roughly ten times the size of this one. At that moment, I decided that even -my- love of animals has it's limits!
I fetched a big glass and a piece of cardboard, caught the spider and released it into the wild a few yards down the road to make sure it didn't came right back.

i'd want one but its a spider, but still awwwww
damn australia has poisenous ugly spiders
want spider ^-^
Too bad that a -really- good macro lens can easily eat up more than $500.
I plan to visit Australia in October for three weeks. Will visit Alice Springs, Kings Canyon, Uluru, Coober Pedy, Kangaroo Island, a bit of the Great Ocean Road, Melbourne and Sydney. Almost too much for only three weeks (can't afford a longer trip *sigh*) and yet I already know that I will be sad in the end that I couldn't see more of the country (like the Great Barrier Reef or all of Northern and Western Australia).
