Hi Angelo Thanks for the great comments. This wasnt the spider I walked into, but one of its relatives. I was crawling around a cotton field and discovered hundreds of these beasties. Must have walked into 50, but luckily only one landed on my face. I think I hurled it into the next state when it happpened :)

Stunning looking spider, glorious creatures aren't they yet most of us fear them. The silvery/mauve body is luminescent and the detail outstanding. I have never had one on my face but once I cut between the tool shed and hedges and out of my peripheral I saw something big and dark on my shoulder, went berserk, ripped my T-shirt off and screamed like a banshee. The body of the spider was about the size of a quarter and big hairy legs.

Absolutely stunning, David!
How did you get it from your face (ugh!) to this pose?
This is going in the favourites, to sit alongside http://www.usefilm.com/image/254293.html as a fine exponent of spider photography!
