SpiderPortfolioShot, originally uploaded by The Coyote.

Coyote's macro of a translucent green spider is one of the most amazing photos of a spider I've ever seen. Creepy and yet beautiful. It makes me wonder why humans tend to be so afraid of spiders. Perhaps it's simply because they are so radically different from humans?

Savannah, a lioness, and her newborn cub. It's a boy!

For somebody who has close contact with many wonderful, exotic animals and the photos to prove it, Misadventures213's photostream is surprisingly under-viewed. Anybody who loves animals should make her a contact and keep an eye on her photos.
