    Wow! I didn't know that these existed. They're quite scary looking aren't they?! Are they dangerous/venomous, or are the colours just for display? Smashing photo!

      Strange looking creature i know, but they are not dangerous, they feed on fruits and are only 1,5 cm long.

      It´s not dangerous at all, feeding fruits and nectar and also has no stings or fangs.

      More in the near of the forests, where you can find fruits. They don´t like sunshine, much more prefer shadows and sometimes they can be find on the bottom of the leaves.

      I love spiders too but i not collect them, i could not kill even one of them so actually that´s why i was to start with photography. To show for peoples the beauty of this small world which is very often unseen. I have a few spider pictures too where you can see the beauty of them and not the disgusting side of this creatures.

      yes thats the best idea to show people what beauty is in the nature. well i will need some warning signal when you are going to upload pics of spider because i have super big arachnophobia but i am looking forward to see your other pics because i love macro and everything what has something with nature.
