Are Spiders Dangerous?
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Believe it or not, almost all species are not harmful to people and are actually beneficial, because they catch and eat a lot of insects that can be pests. Spiders do not seek out, chase, or randomly attack people, nor do they carry grudges against people. If you let them be, they will leave you alone.
Most people are bitten because they were playing with the spider (which is effectively "asking" to be bitten), or the spider felt threatened without a chance to escape; many times, surprising the spider was completely accidental. Depending on your geographical location, there are only a few spiders that you need be familiar/concerned with (see the comments below on the spiders of potential medical concern).
If you aren't sure if the spider you have might be harmful, leave it alone and do not kill it.

Una fotografía preciosa, tiene una nitidez impresionante. Enhorabuena y un saludo.
This is an excellent capture, lighting nice soft background all with excellent details. Perfect. :)
Good POV. I like the composition and BG.
Parece una Nephila clavipes u otra especie se caracterizan por la dureza elastica de su tela

A beautiful image, well composed. Sharpness and dof are great.
A nice black border would finish this off nicely :-)
Thanks for sharing.
