The creamy-smooth background really sets off the subject here.

He looks like a colorful, smily star! I think he's cute and different, but for some odd reason I like spiders. I hear tarantulas like bananas too? Thanks for sharing!

These are pretty cool spiders. We used to call them crab spiders when I was a kid, because that's what they look like. You didn't mention that they only grow to be about a cm or 3/4 inch in length LOL. Spooky looking little critters though.

OMG, is that really what it looks like? I'm allergic to spiders, but I love taking pictures of them! This is the craziest spider I've ever seen!

OK I just did a search on them, weird! I have to say you have the best representation of one. The pics I found during my search aren't nearly as good as yours!
