GENUINE WARNING
This page is about spiders. Or rather two particular spiders.
I found one big furry brute in my garden in August 2001 and the other one the next day, waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting fly in my hall. I found them both strangely photogenic. These are some of the pictures I shot before returning them to the wild, or in the case of the longer-legged one, loosing it under the fridge. I know many of you don't like spiders, but I swear the photographs featured on this page can't hurt you, any more than any real spider of UK origin can. However, if arachnids freak you out, your back-button or the 'Cowards can close this window...' link above may be the thing to hit now! OTHERWISE, ENJOY!

ABOVE: I included a two pound coin in this picture to give some scale to this beast.
BELOW: I tried to include a coin in this shot too, but the spider ate it.
If you like hairy things, my Portraits Page may
be worth a visit. If that somehow fails to attract
you, have a butchers at my Home Page instead.
