Sure that's not a UFO?

Or maybe a Transformer?

Woof, Woof - Dawg

Looks like a decal to me.

 

[PlaceofDis]

would probably freak me out since i've never seen one like that before.

 

[Markleshark]

I don't know what it is, but thats well mental.

 

[jamesarm97]

Pretty common here. I have at least a couple in my yard.

This is one time where I think America's gun laws make sense to me.

Shoot that alien before it probes your ass.


PS: I want to see more photos, but from a different angle. What's the point of leading us to a webpage with 4 nearly identical photos?

Wow, that's the coolest spider I've ever seen! I love spiders, but I'm still scared of them.

 

[iGary]

It's a jewelled spider.

Actually in Florida, it's a spiny orb weaver spider.

 

[BoyBach]

It's a Jewelled Spider.

 

[MacDawg]

It's a jewelled spider.

Perhaps it should be a Dead Spider

It's a Jewelled Spider.

Cool link... thanks for that!

Woof, Woof - Dawg

NO! How could anyone kill something so beautiful?

 

[iJohnHenry]

Oh my word, it is.

I'm thinking blowtorch... maybe...

That's one gorgeous spider - I like the little beggars... most of them are far more frightened of you

 

[Osarkon]

I'm thinking blowtorch... maybe...

Woof, Woof - Dawg

Definitely.

Or perhaps a white-hot lance through the middle of it.

Incase you haven't guessed already, I don't like spiders.

Simple. Effective.

Male spiders don't have much of a life...

From the web site: Like most spiders, the Jewelled Spider mates, the female eats the males, the female lays eggs, the eggs hatch and the young spiders are on their own from hatching.

Wooden stake?
Silver bullet?

So, kinda like humans then...

I'm thinking shot-put. The Olympians have inspired me to become more creative in my modes of killing.

 

[iJohnHenry]

I've butaned many a nest of tree spiders, but I would NEVER harm one of those.

 

[Osarkon]

Wooden stake?
Silver bullet?

Metal spear?

Female humans don't eat the male humans. Rather they just empty the pocketbook.

They devour the soul. Same thing.

 

[iToaster]

The Jewelled Spider is not poisonous, but if you want to get rid of it, at least spare its life... heck, if I saw a spider like that (outside my house) I would let it live.
