Yikes! Photo taken in Malaysia. I don’t know what type it is or if it is poisonous. I didn’t stick around to find out.

50 Year Project 
Aaaaaaah!
What’s next, a pic of the Inland Revenue’s headquarters…?
And how did you get him to hold still? When I try stuff like that, it turns out all fuzzy.
I think he was stunned by our group of hikers. Or he was plotting how to kill me, but I don’t want to think about that.
Very sensible. I would too but not as quickly as my daughters 😉
I would probably be with your daughters–after snapping the photo. Glad this one worked out, I only took one.
Good grief, that’s enough right there to keep me reading about Malaysia instead of visiting it!
So I shouldn’t show the other creepy crawlies?
Ya, I wouldn’t have either :).
I love all creatures, but some I like to admire from afar. this was not from afar.
Yikes is right. I would have run the other way!
I had to walk under him, very quickly.
I find bugs interesting, but couldn’t easily find your spider on the web – not that I am any kind of spider insect. But I did find this blog devoted to Malaysian spiders – just in case you want to peruse it sometime: http://malaysianspiders.blogspot.com/
A blog devoted to spiders in Malaysia–good thing I didn’t see that before I booked the trip. thanks for the link. I have some more photos of spiders and maybe I figure out what they are. Bugs are fascinating, just as long as they aren’t near me or on me.
I think I’d be gone, too. In a hurry!
I didn’t want to run too fast. There were plenty of creepy crawlies on this hike. I tried to get photos of others and then I thought, “How many can see me and I can’t see them?” That freaked me out.
Scary…
Yikes! Not my favourite creatures at all. Is he missing a leg? 🙂
He might be … hard to tell and I didn’t look for a different angle for the photo. Now I feel bad for him.
Oh my… I am so scared of all kinds of spiders…
They aren’t my favorite. I still free them outside, but it takes a lot of will power not to run away screaming. Not sure I would move this guy. Might move myself.
Run away!!!!
Lynn 😀
Yikes!
This one make my hair stand on end!
I felt the same way.
YIKES, IS RIGHT!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Seriously, it sent chills down my spine.
That is one scary spider. Yeesh!
I know!
I dont think this one has poison because I see it al lot in garden
It would scare me each time!
There’s something about taking a close up of a spider if one finds them scary … I do too . Maybe it is a therapy of some sort Lol
Facing our fears, up close and personal. and then run really fast, with a racing heart and shaking hands.
Lol indeedeee
like snakes, i want to like them for the good they might do but just can’t. even the picture scares me
Snakes scare me as well. I used to live in Colorado and some snakes would get in my house. I really, really hated that.
YIKES is right! Oh my goodness, that’s scary.
