Freakin’ Scary Hairy Jumping Spider
On our trip to a family friend's house I noticed a rather interesting looking spider on their stainless steel grill. I started taking pictures and noticed that the spider seemed to be doing a little twist whenever I moved the camera closer.
Curious, I zoomed in and noticed that this little guy was really turning to LOOK RIGHT AT ME! Gagh... the only thing scarier than a spider is a smart spider!
Freakin' huge jumping spider
Being the manly man that I think I am I kept taking pictures. This was a big mistake.
Approximately 10 seconds after snapping the above picture this gigantic, hairy, soon-to-be-airborne spider launches itself at me with all eight legs sprawled like the face suckers from Aliens.
Needless to say I did the only thing a real man would: I squealed like a little girl, dropped the camera, and stumbled into the picnic table behind me. Good times, good times.

I’ve always thought spiders were very intelligent, and I’ve not been prone to challenge them (unless they’re crawling across the ceiling as I’m about to go to bed — then it’s — KILL!)
You really were very brave photo-ing this spider! Thanks for sharing the experience.
