Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! I just had to show ya this tiny spider i caught yesterday. It couldnt have been bigger than 2 mm (dont ask me to convert that into inches or something....i use the metric system) and all drenched by the morning dew. Kinda looked like a little pearl hanging from that branch. Was gonna upload this to that "Think Fast - thread", but i have a feeling youll cover the letter "S" while im bed sound asleep. Hope ya dont mind me hogging some space and showing it in this thread instead. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!!!! Andreas ![dork.gif](http://market.renderosity.com/~carrara/emoticons/dork.gif)

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

LoL , now if I only had a spider image to post , drat. Excelent image Andreas , that would have been quite a sight to see in person. I imagine the water drops made it even stranger , the way they displace the spider inside .

KEEEEEEEEEEEEWL JOE!!! Minimalistic like mine...almost as if you had put it in Photoshop and pressed Ctrl+I, LOL. Wow, that first web is so amazing Doug!!!! So cool how those two straws have hooked up like that.

Sigh I have yet to get a decent spider shot.I was just about to take one the other day when something flew into his web and he jumped so fast on it I got scared and nearly dropped my cam!LOL It's hard to take a pic of something you're petrified of! Hmmm I'm surprised Kort hasn't added his spidey yet.He's got that really hairy one from a while back that would suit this 'thread' perfectly! ;D
