“Armoured” Spider

October 17, 2007

Spiders are among the most attractive creature for macro photography. Take this one, for instance. It looks so well-armoured and mean, like a battle tank that you could mistake it for a crab, had it not for its ability to spin web.

I’ve never seen this type of spiders before and naturally, it not only attracted my curiosity, but my curious lens as well. Perhaps, those behind the movie, Spiderman, should take a look at this one for an idea about how the man in red and blue suit would appear in the next installment.

You seen anything like this? Wikipedia has an entry of different species of spider. Maybe this one comes from the Arachnida class.
