Everyone seemed to think I could reach this spider or it could get to me. Nope, it is at the top of my screened in porch. I use the zoom to try and get pictures. Then again, it could always drop down on my head I guess. GRIN. Still, I thought this turned out to be a really cool picture. Click to Enlarge:
It IS a cool picture... of a nasty spider. Yuck. LOL!
Posted by: pam at January 25, 2007 08:41 AMI taught a First Aid class yesterday...and in doing do, I always seem to get people who want to share stories or old wives tales with me.
One lady in my morning class says, "I keep a cobweb in my house at all times....it helps with cuts/bruises/burns....you just run your hand/arm through it. I don't know why, but something in the web makes the pain go away."
I sat there dumbfounded.
Nice to know you have a cobweb, just in case... :)

VW: I think those are called 'crab' spiders. There is a yellow variety on who those dots on the abdomen make a smiley face....they're cute!
