Helpful Posts: Izzie, I hope you don't mind, earlier this morning I commented on your frog and spider thread and suggested that to get spiders head on is a good approach, providing of course that they don't scare you!.
This is an example of one of mine for you. It was taken in 2013 on a bright day so the light is quite harsh. I don't have any others as I haven't got over being this close to this little Missas she was walking towards me and I was laid on the ground.
BTW this is not cropped it has only been resized for posting here

Re: A Spider for Izzie with an Alternative Title "Be afraid"!
Wow! Peter...this is a good clear one. When I was taking the image of mine, my hand was shaking because I have Roxie's leash in my arm and she kept moving trying to move away, so I took some successive shots.
I forgot hubby was near me and can hold her leash while I do my work. I won't do that again and I will make sure the correct lens is in my pixel peep camera...I promise I will be better next time...get closer too...I think I am getting the idea anyway...
Thank you for this...I really do appreciate any further training I can get from everyone you and everyone here. I am not scared of spiders, just wasps and snakes.

Me neither Binnur, but... when they decide to come in the house (I hear the screams from SWMBO) I do catch them and return them to the garden

That's a great little fella Peter, he reminds me very much of 'Spike' that modelled for me last year. I'm always worried at the speed they can move.

Re: A Spider for Izzie with an Alternative Title "Be afraid"!
Not sure of the identity, Peter. Looks a bit like one of the paler Tegenaria species but I wouldn't rule out a rather brownish Agelena labyrinthica although females tend to keep close to their large tube shaped webs. But I suppose it could have been disturbed and is looking to set up a new home elsewhere.
Incidentally, some female Tegenaria can live for a couple of years.
