Okay, I don’t generally “do” spiders. They are creepy and disgusting. But Anthony came running in the house yesterday for me to come see this “cool bug” that “isn’t a spider.” I went out and took a look and then informed him that it quite certainly was a spider. A very weird and neat looking spider. One that I don’t think I have ever seen before (even though San Diego seems to be a common habitat for them).
It was also a very large spider…that’s DH’s finger in front of it!
Bob googled it and we determined it was a Green Lynx spider. Non-venomous, but it has an extremely painful bite. Nice. I think I’ll just admire it in pictures.
Wow well I got the chills looking at the photos lol but it’s neat …. from this distance LOL!!
I generally just try to avoid them at all costs – but that one is pretty!
Icky! They are great photos, but I definitely just got the heeby-jeebies looking at it!
I don’t do spiders either, but that one is pretty cool. I would probably be okay with stepping on that instead of a cold, squishy gecko too. Good find Anthony!
I have never seen a spider like that before, not even when I was living at home in Ramona and that was years ago. I hate spiders, but thank-you for sharing this interesting looking spider.
EEEEWWWWW!
But I cannot stop looking at it. It’s disgustingly fascinating.
Blech! I hate them but that one is gorgeous!
Spiders are creepy as well as all other bugs, LOL. I seen a creepy bright green beetle at Disneyland last month. I was not getting on the ride without it being removed from my seat…
THat is a cool looking spider. Still creepy, but cool!
Lol that is itty bitty!!! Very neat looking critter though!
Ugh, it looks very scary although very colorful too.
Thank God I have never seen anything that looks likes that in Georgia….
Cool color… neat looking from THIS side of the monitor.. but I am with you, NO spiders! and the one w/DHs finger the spider looks poised to bite! Nahuh…
why is they so many wicked looking critters this summer?
Now I got the heebeegeebees!! thanks !
I am so not a spider person too, but I must admit that it’s pretty cool.
wow this is really cool rhea!
Freakin love it! That is amazing!
Wow it’s like an alien kinda spider. Yeah I don’t blame you for sticking with admiring the photos…
Alright, why ya’ll commenting on last months WW post? Are you trying to confuse me…because it’s not hard! I thought maybe I reposted the wrong post or something.
Off to have another beer….
