Spider Close-ups
I haven't been able to post due to the horrible weather we've been having up here in the "Great Northwest".... First a big snowstorm, then the biggest windstorm in nearly a decade. 1 million without power, 4 dead due to the storm itself, many more dead to do C02 from running bbq's and generators indoors trying to keep warm. RIP.
Now for the post... This website has some creepy close ups of spiders. Theres one at the bottom of the page, you can see the venom coming out of its fangs. Check it out... http://www.spiderzrule.com/closeup.htm
