We must be grateful that man is the measure of all things as Protagoras affirmed. It looks like a menacing monster. In any case, I have always been apprehensive of all animals that have more than four legs. Five already seems excessive to me. Warm greetings, Anton.

Thanks folks...............I'm sorry if this lovely spider frightened anyone. I'm quite happy taking photos of them but I'm always ready to run away if they make a move towards me :-O
