I had quite the interesting encounter with a huuuuuuuge spider this past week. And silly me simply wanted to photograph it rather than brush it off.:) But all I could think of, was, "Haiga moment!"
i'm quite amazed that this one resonated with you, guys... it was made from scratch (the #@&" writer's block)... i had to browse the archives for anything remotely suitable for posting, edit it and find a suitable photo, so i really didn't expect such response :)
hototogisu: thank you. my first published haiku (well, in the first accepted batch) was the following:
seven pairs of legs in a peculiar dance: a fly and a spider
charlie: they're in fact quite amazing creatures... ok, the female may have her mate for lunch, but some species are devoted mothers, looking after their offspring until they're ready to fly away on their silvery threads, and dying of exhaustion afterwards...
pat: those webs i fear, not the real spiders... thank you!
margie: thank you!
aurora: i guess i would have reacted in a similar way :) in fact, i almost tore one of those guy's webs the other day but managed to back off in time. the spider (and it was a huge one, possibly a pregnant female) vanished into the bracken many thanks, aurora!
kai: thank you!
zingtrial: so true, thank you!
plus ultra: thank you!
nabeel: yes, it is one of (if not the) strongest materials on earth :) cheers!
dsnake: thank you! and i think spiders are beautiful in a way :)
