It is October and only a couple weeks until Halloween so I will share some scary spider pictures. I am also thinking of spiders as I took some good spider pictures yesterday.

Here a spider has been hiding in a rose bloom and has captured a bee that has come to pollinate the flower. I like the detail in this picture with the hairy legs and the eyes. This is indeed a scary spider.

Here is a scary black widow.

This spider was at the  Golden Palms in Bangalore, India. I spent two weeks at this resort teaching courses years ago.

This orb spider spun a web in North Ryde, Australia. I like the spots of color on the joints of the legs.

Here is another colorful spider that I saw in Cambridge, England.

Which of these spiders is the scariest?
