The garden spiders we had were the ones that would come out in the evening. Next day you wouldn't see it so you'd be relieved. Then you'd walk outside in the evening again and BAM!

Yeah I've read many good reviews about it and I finally saw one for a fairly decent price so I snatched it up.


You should totally get the Minolta 200mm f/2.8 Macro. I've seen a couple on ebay and they looks awesome.

That's a male Garden Spider. If you think that was big, wait to see the female garden spider. I came upon one in my side garden and I almost pissed myself. According to Wiki they can grow as big as 1.1"! Another particularity of them is that the female web contains an additional zig zag pattern through the center to strengthen the web.

OMG that thing Steve@Coach posted! WTF!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!



I'd probably go to jail for unloading on that thing with a rifle. They'd get me for opening fire within city limits or something, but f' that, defending my life! At least my underwear!
