Spider thread

[Robbi]

( see what i did there )

Can there be a seperate thread / sticky started for pictures of spiders only, i look in the "wildlife photos" and the "what bug is this" and "one for harvestman" and just get lots of spiders ( i know i've even posted one myself .....very good zoom, i was a long way away from it !!! )

i don't sleep well after i've had to scroll through dozens of the things late at night when all i want to see is Bambi.

if there was a seperate sticky thread (!) i could avoid it like the plague !

Thank you.

Harsh.

But possibly fair.

I'm still waiting for someone to make the "What is this bug?" thread a sticky. (Hint )

I keep posting bugs etc in the wildlife thread to keep it current, in the hope that all sorts of shots will end up there, not just my bugs pics. I'm useless at bird photographs, for example.

Spiders are "bugs" (not int the truest sense of the word but hey a thread full of shield bugs may not be so interesting) , they belong in the thread. Look on it as aversion therapy.

 

[Robbi]

but i want to see the other bugs and wildlife and all sorts of things, just not spiders everywhere.

Submit other images? I think you should be calling for diversity not segregation.

 

[Robbi]

nope, the spiders deserve their own thread,

leave us aracknaphobes ( sp? ) alone, let us sleep in peace, let us surf the threads without fear, let us boldly open a link without trepidation

Aracknaphobes unite !!.........banish the beast !!

 

[mountainm]

cats ! lets have lots of cats

Spider cats.

[mountainm]

Change your mind there Robbi?

 

[Robbi]

Spider cats.

 

[Robbi]

Jeez, that thing would make you jump if it hopped on your bed in the middle of the night !!

I just did a quick test.
Last 20 pictures posted on the Wildlife Pics thread - 6 spiders
Last 20 pictures posted on the Bugs thread - 7 spiders

Numbers slightly inflated because if multiple images of the same animal were posted, I counted all of them. Given how common spiders are, and how frequently encountered they are relative to say, Bambi (and the fact that spiders make good photo subjects because they stay still) this doesn't seem too bad.

Mountainm has the key point. Post more of other stuff. That's what the Wildlife Picture thread is for anyway.

Besides, winter now will mean fewer creepy crawlies generally.

 

[Robbi]

7 + 6 = 13 + the one from Elen..THAT MAKES 14 SPIDERS !!


any other creepy crawly i can handle

right then, new digital compact camera goes in pocket for when i'm driving around for work.
