I must have done something right. I’m currently getting 300 - 500 unique hits per day to my website by people searching for Spider Pig. It’s not just Google either. Add to that Yahoo, AOL, MSN, BBC, etc etc.

I wonder if this popularity is anything to do with the advertising request I got via email today.

Our company has an ad program that buys ad space on your website with no cost to you.

mmm. No cost? They obviously don’t think of advertising as an obtrusive cost to the viewer. Sure it pays and helps in a lot of areas, but it doesn’t half look ugly. This place will always be ad free.

A Brazilian spider delivers more than a painful bite that sends most victims to the hospital. Its venom stimulates an hours-long erection.

A natural viagra maybe? I’m sure the painful bite takes the pleasure away from the erection though! News Link

For some, spiders are evil things and i will freely admit, they don’t look particularly glamorous!
I spotted this spider whilst picking some beans down the garden yesterday and thought I’d try photographing it close up.
Looking through the images I took, I notice that this spider doesn’t have a very tidy web, which is a shame. I think the web untidiness makes the image look a little bit messy.
