The Old Dog Presents: The Spindly Spider Spook-fest!
I'm not a big fan of spiders! Are you?
On the other hand it's always interesting to get a close look at them, understand them better and creep myself out!
Announcing: The Spindly Spider Spook-fest Contest!
I came across a pleasantly plump spider today as it was feasting on a tender morsel right beside my front door. This grisly looking Araneae allowed me to get very close to it in order to take the sample shot below.
Show Me Some Spindly Spooky Spiders....Up Close!
Here's my sample shot to get you started!
Lot's of details to be seen here to amaze, fascinate, spook and just generally creep out!
Now It's Your Turn! Let's Get Scary!
In this contest I want to see spindly, spooky spiders!

Gee, I hope not! I’ve no idea!
Wow, what a fun contest! And it just so happens I have some really good spider pictures 😬 I found both of these spiders in my yard!
Banana Spider
Oh yeah, they are both huge and extremely venomous!
The deadlier the better for this contest!
I like spiders, to the dislike of my wife. Unfortunately, I do not have anything remarkable to participate in the last two contests.
I'm looking forward to the following.
Great success to the participants and thanks to the organizer! $trdo

Show me a photo of a weird creepy creature!
Oh man, I am huge fan of weird creepy creatures and I have a lot of photos of them :) This time around, therefore, I will take advantage of the possibility to submit two entries.
Nr. 1: the horseshoe crab
Nr. 2: the tailless whip scorpion
Both captured by me in Mexico. Thanks for hosting this awesome contest! ;)
I’m shaking!
Saw this lovely lady today on the side of the house! A marbled orb-weaver.
She looks like she's about to burst!
You can see why they are sometimes called pumpkin spiders!
A Huntsman Spider in our Apartement in the 11th Floor. I´ve absolutely no idea how this beast got there.
Yikes, run for the hills!
or burn down the apartement?!
In Australia this is considered a small spider and it truly is. I´ve seen Huntsman as big as my hand.
Now this is one we can do! I think I can even manage a promo piece for this one!! Standby!
I look forward to hearing back from you!
Look at this puppy:
Deadly!
For these kinds of shot's I'll need a real camera. Phone cameras are not too clever at macro shots.
There's plenty of the long legged beasts in my house. I'm always throwing them out!
For sure a real camera would be better but I took the one above with my phone! I took 5 and picked the best. The little creep didn't even take any notice of me!
Spiders just keep still. They think you can't see them and are quite smug about their camouflage abilities, even when black and sitting in a white bath!
Fools!
Oh, you know I don't have bugs! :) Let me see what I can find!! In the meantime, I will give it a resteem to spread the word!
Did I tell you I don't like Spiders and Snakes? Thanks for hosting this contest!!!
