I was right in his furry face. And he liked it.
Today’s Photohunt Theme is “Furry”
This is a jumping spider. He is definitely furry. In fact, he’s totally sporting kind of a Don Kingesque look.
He makes a great date on a random afternoon. Because really, what would you rather have in your face at any given time than a plump, furry thing that is prone to jumping this way and that?
(That’s what she said?)
He is bold… daring. Challenging me. Coming towards the camera and holding out his front legs, as if to say, “I am not intimidated by your sexy smile and your hot rack. (shut up, he knows where it’s at) Your sensuous, womanly curves do not make me feel insecure. I am more man than you have ever met. Now show me your egg sack.”
But I’m all, “Look, dude, inter-species flirting is really distasteful, and I won’t have that on my blogsite, so you’re going to have to take your rude comments somewhere else. Furthermore, my egg sack is far too demanding for the likes of you. You’d never do it justice. Now pose for me, bitch.”
And then he just shrugs and sits there, thinking it over.
I stand my ground. In fact, I tap my toe a little, with a slight grinding motion after the tap.
Finally he just gives in and vogues his furry, spidery little heart out.
Because, really, he knows I can just step on him and call it a day. He’s smart like that, so he gives me what I want before I move on.
Let this be a lesson. While I might not show you my egg sack no matter how artfully you woo me, if you get in position when I tell you to, I won’t step on your furry, little head.
(PS: This is clearly a joke, because everyone knows I’m a shameless whore and will show my egg sack to anybody.)

“Now show me your egg sack”… I have to say, I peed just a little from that one. I am totally saying that to everyone all day.

I know jumping spiders aren’t dangerous, but they creep me out! I would love to be able to get such beatiful shots of one, but my pics would all be blurry from shuddering. These are awesome.

What a cool looking spider – I’m shocked you wouldn’t show him your egg sack! I would have. Glad he appreciated your sexy smile and hot rack though, that must have brightened up your day.

While they aren’t “dangerous” they aren’t tame either! LOL I used to think they were harmless too until I got bitten by one!
My PSA for the day!
Jumping spiders
The jumping spider is probably the most common biting spider in the United States. People are caught by surprise and scared when they see the spider jump, especially if it jumps towards them. Bites from a jumping spider are painful, itchy and cause redness and significant swelling. Other symptoms may include painful muscles and joints, headache, fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. The symptoms usually last about 1-4 days.
But I do love the pictures, though the eyes skeeve me out! EWWW!!!

@Special K,
Well done!
I am rather careful with them, so no worries. I’m not like, ACTUALLY french kissing them or anything.

Those pics are FANTASTIC. You get better with every click of the shutter love.
But keep the crawlies to yourself next time, would you.
I deal with a handsy little hair ball every day. I call him my husband.

@Redneck Mommy,
Heh. Are you feeling itchy now?
I have onna those thingies at my house, too. And damnit if he didn’t just decide to grow out his facial hair again. That in-between stage is rather unpleasant, what with the PIERCING quality his face now has.

ROFL! What a cute spider! (Did I just say that?) Great pics, I’ll have to employ that tactic the next time I see a scorpion running around my hood. Before I squish him dead of course…..

I’m glad that, in the end, the spider did your bidding. And by glad, I mean indifferent. And by indifferent, I mean, can I see your egg sack?

Ok – so when I was on my honeymoon, I was blissfully sleeping next to my hubby at the butt crack of dawn in a remote cabin in Alaska when I felt something sting me. I thought it was a bee and I was all “wtf” about it and I even thought, “meh – I wonder if I can roll over and ignore this or if I have to get up.” And I figured if there was some bee in the bed I should probably get up. And I reached down and grabbed at my leg where it had been stung and something hairy was there and I threw it on the floor. When I turned on the light, I discovered it was a giant wolf spider (yes, it was big enough that I thought it was a bee). I haven’t been as up-close and personal with a spider since my honeymoon.
So .. um .. thanks (I guess?)

That’s an audacious little spider. I like how he stood his ground with you. All spiders around here run a mile when they see me coming.

I loved this post. Too damn creative and brave of you. Now I am all envious of your mad insect photographing skills… I got the water drops down and now you taunt me with your spider closeups.
*Sigh* Spiders make my skin crawl so I wont be trying to photograph any, I bet I can find something else vile to photograph though!
