If it was someone else that posted the dead pics, I would have reacted the same way. I think we both got carried away (as humans do). You have to admit that there is much more beauty in live subjects. bobc FYI... I am in the technical fields and try to stay away from politics...:? |

Uhhh... the worst was that person who posted the pic of her son holding a dead sparrow he shot with a pellet gun a few months ago.
The spider doesn't "bug" me. Let's face it, the most ardent "all God's creatures, great and small" squishes a bug from time to time. You probably kill a hundred bugs each trip on the highway. All the macro shooters on this forum, literally, gave me a greater appreciation of nature, expecially insects - amazing creatures that you really appreciate when you can see them up close. Personally, I wouldn't kill a fly if it was to take its picture, that little naggy old lady of a conscience would forbid it. But, if I killed it for another reason and took its picture, I don't see anything wrong with that... |

Nick...i agree with you. If I had killed the spider or tortured it to take the pictures, that could be considered cruel. But this bugger was a goner when he showed up in my bedroom, I was about to get rid of him when the thought occured that i have never taken an insect macro and should see if I even have any skills in this field. So I spared it for a few minutes, took a few shots, and dealt with it the way I would have normally. There was nothing cruel that I did to it for the pictures.
Bobc I agree that out in the world I would much rather walk aside, jump over, or leave a critter of any kind alive...I don't relish in their demise. But nor do I have any qualms about getting rid of any that invade my space, you haven't been in places that I have spent lifetimes in...lol. seth |

Ty, Your spider looks a little like a Wolf spider! They can give you a nasty bite! Jim
