Macro Monday.....Creepy Crawley

My son found this just hanging around on the corner of the house.  I of course had to put aside my phobias and take it's picture.  What do you think?

My field was full of those 3 years ago and I haven't seen a single one since. Hands down the most beautiful spider I've ever seen. (I can't believe I just called a spider beautiful!)

Must be green spider time. Nice job overcoming your phobia. I like that second "profile" shot.

Lovely shot! The contrast of the spider's markings against the wood grain is awesome.
