If you're not familiar with the story of the Spider and the Fly you should click here to read the entire poem. It's a very good reminder for all of us.
Out on Antelope Island there are thousands of these big fellers in the brush along the side of the road. The abdomen on some of these is as wide as about 1/2 inch. I only hope that their main diet is mosquitoes and deer flies.
My posts may be spotty the next few days as I've got some important projects I'm up to my neck in, but I won't forget Phun Phriday! and I hope you don't either.
Don't be shy - leave a comment or email me. I look forward to hearing from you!

I love close-up photography, and this is a wonderful spider specimen. Well done - great detail and composition.
Well I wouldn't want to go walking there!
Great shot - excellent detail and colour, and the light on its belly is wonderful. Bet you won't have this hanging on any wall, though ;-)
In a word: No.
