Description

I found this beautiful spider on the wall at some friends house in Ayacucho Peru July 2005. I actually had to stop them from killing it so I could get some pictures. Hopefully it's still alive some where in Ayacucho. (I still wonder if it's in the same arachnoid family as the Black Widow. It got about the same shape and size). I played with this picture too make it look like the spider is crawling away from it's own postcard. I hope I didn't scare anybody! ;)

Super closup and manipulation. Excellent composition and lighting. Wonderful dpeciman, perhaps one of the most beautiful spiders I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
