Day 327 of 365

Giant. Wolf spider. :omg:
Usually these guys are pretty skittish and run away in an instant. This guy was pretty slow though. I'm guessing he was a bit lethargic after weathering many mornings of cold temperatures. Even though he was slow, it still took a fair bit of conquering my fears to get in close for these macro shots lol. This isn't even the highest magnification I got. One shot essentially fills the frame with just his eyes. To get that one, my lens had to be between his legs. He was a couple inches in length. Took a photo with a ruler for size reference here: [link] though maybe this one (minimum magnification) gives you a better idea of his size: [link]

Either way, I'm happy to be getting good macro shots of insects this late in the year. Even if they are a tad creepy :P
