I'm with Dan on this. 25250.
I'm also in the 'live and let live' camp when it comes to spiders -
but that doesn't extend to Sydney Funnel Webs.
Cheers
Brian

Quoting Igor PDML-StR <[email protected]>:
Not for people with arachnophobia!
By a conincidence, Larry and I were visited on the sam eday by
related species.
Actually, that day, while I was shooting this guy in the middle of
the day, I was rather busy.
It was only later, in the evening, while trying to identify the
type, that I realized it was "she". Because she was gravid. (I
think..)
I am not a specialist, but this helpful website helped me to identify
this Metaltella simoni (Hacklemesh Weaver)
http://www.spiders.us/species/metaltella-simoni/
http://42graphy.org/misc/2015-03-spider/
Unfortunately, these photos were far from perfect. I was in a rush,
and was shooting with the camera handheld, in a very unstable
position.
So, I just did the best I could in that situation.
Actually, I'd appreciate if you can tell me which of these photo(s)
you like the most (if any).
