Thanks folks. I took pictures of this spider for two days to get those eyes! In the end I got lucky. I have never seen one of these type of spiders in yellow and I don't think it could kill you but I would not like a nip from those fangs after what it did to a bumble bee twice its size!! This spider hunts from flower tops and does not have a web.

Thanks for all the comments

I don't usually like close up of ugly bugs but this one is an exception. Very well done.

This is one scary looking spider! Is that it's natural colouring? Love the eye detail. In my TT.

Great colors, focus, and comp. I'm sure it is harmless, but it looks deadly! Easily made my top 3.

Nice spider. What amazingly small eyes he has! Is he dangerous? Good focus and exposure. Should do quite well. GL.

Love, love, love this! I like the way his eyes are in a triangle and his yellow body makes him stand out well. Good luck :)

What a magnificent spider, and those colours! I wonder where on earth this was taken as I've never seen one like it where I live.

I took a zillion pictures of one of these spiders (mine was white with purple patches) but couldn't get one to suit me. This is a great macro, good luck.
