Bookmark - Giant Wood Spider (Animal Series - Creepy Crawlies)

This begins the "Creepy Crawlie" section of the animal series.  These are all beautiful in their own way.

This species - and others in Taiwan that are similar - are fascinating because they are so, so big, as illustrated in this post.  Doing a search for the word "Spider" will take you to several other posts of these beasts as well, as they don't spook easily (surprised?) and are easy to get close to and capture in a photograph.

And, as stated before, in spite of their size and scary appearance they are not aggressive at all, and rarely bite people.  Wouldn't want to handle one, though, the way some do with tarantulas.
