Saw this sucker while camping in the adirondacks... he was crawling on a tarp.

I figured with all the spider experts in here, someone may be able to tell me if I was risking my life by getting close enough to snap that picture.

edit: duhhh, forgot the link
ugly spider

That's a bunch of little spiders on her abdomen. If you had looked at them funny, or poked them with a stick or something, they would have run up the stick and swarmed all over your body and in a few seconds would have found their way to your orifices and started to dig their way in. Yes, you are very lucky to be alive.
 
That's what it is? A big spider with lots of babies riding on it? I didn't realize spiders carried their young around like that. You learn something new every day. 🙂
 
Oh, and no, the spider didn't see the bottom of my shoe. I just waited for it to leave (I may have hastened its departure a bit) I'd rather have the spiders around than all the bugs they eat.

I'd drown in bugs gladly for a world without spiders *shudders uncontrollably*. How big was it, btw? Hard to get an idea of scale from that pic. In your shoes, I'd likely not be in your shoes - I'd jump right out of them, hair standing on end, screaming like a little girl 😱
 
That was disgusting, i was just about to go to bed. Now i am gonna have nightmares. You should of hit it repeatedly with a bat.
 
i remember seeing one of those in a cup in the street. Kicked the cup and all the baby spiders started going nuts.... Left the area really quick!

I share your sentiment on the lil fuggers. I once (I was just a kid!!!) ran round in circles in our driveway for about 5 full minutes screaming like a little girl (I was 12 🙁) after seeing a wood spider of aobut 2.5" diameter on my favorite climbing-tree 😱 While I've gotten slightly less animated in my protests against them, my fear has, if anything, grown. Probably the worst point in my life was getting in the shower, closing the curtain, and finding another ~2.5" wood spider (that's about how big they get around here) on the inside of the curtain at kid-eye-height. My mother later told me she truly thought a murderer had broken into the house and was in the process of killing me, such were my anguished screams... Took at least a decade off my life. I was probably 13 then.

I grew up in Black Widow haven in Southern California or something, first spider I saw when I was able to understand my parents was a black widow. I learned about death from that damn spider... so now I'm afraid of spiders in their relation to death I guess. I cannot stand them, even if they are harmless.

Last spider (it was harmless) I encountered was on the back of my water cup and crawled right on my nose as i took a sip. I was so freaked I didn't sleep all night because I was checking every corner and crevice for spiders in my room.
