Tarantula

Thank you Hemma!

great spotting!

Haha yeah I would be right up next to it as well! I like how in the second picture you can see some of the individual eyes clustered together.

Thanks Jack! We were lucky enough to see a few in the rainforest & it was the first time I've seen them in their natural habitat. Our guide was quite amused when I had my macro lens 3 or 4" away from them, he said most people take a step back when he points them out!

Nice! I own 6 tarantulas of my own (and a scorpion and baby snake). I've always wanted to see a wild tarantula. I've seen a few here in Oklahoma where I live, but I mean the Central/South American sp. like the ones I own. A lot of them are endangered because of the pet trade (I try to buy captive-bred tarantulas).
