I was photographing at some salt lakes on Sunday when I spotted a spider on a tree stump. Had the macro lens so took a few shots (had to get quite close, thank goodness it didnt move). When I uploaded I realised the "knobbly back" was actually its babies!!! Urggghhhhh. Its a wolf spider, and they adapt their appearance to the environment, hence it is white because of the salt....

I'm not particularly spider phobic, but that really makes my skin crawl... fantastic photo though!

I generally don't have an issue with spiders, but that makes me wants to vomit. So many eyes and spider babies :vom:

Stunning photo though

Great capture! I remember once finding a spider & thought the same.. that it was a "knobbly back".. & on closer inspection it was babies - eeek!

Another time I stood on my bath mat, not realising a mum with babes on board were underneath.. until they scurried & sprawled out all over the floor!!

Awesome photo I showed DH and he thought it was a fantastic shot until I told him what the bumpy bits were and he just flipped out
