I agree - the eyes have it.
(But is it an insect??)

Fearsome close-up! Sure wouldn't want to wake up with one in the bed with me.

Great image and good luck. :t:

Thanks for the comments everyone.....Ken-technically you are right but most people tend to group spiders as insects in a broader sense ( I hope so anyway).

Super close-up. And I always think of anything to do with a nursery as benign!
