From pain shall come pleasure, from fear appreciation, from being spooked being intrigued!

I asked you for photos of creepy spiders and we've all benefited!

As a reminder here's the original post:

The Old Dog Presents: The Spindly Spider Spook-fest!

Here Are Your Winners!

There were so many worthy entries but sadly I can only choose the top 5. Or can I? Hey actually I can pretty well do what I want so from 12 finalists I'm picking 5 winners and 2 special bonus winners! 

Do you want to see them? Let's go!

Here are the top 5 that will receive 1 Steem each!

Here's a macro shot from @ileana56. Dare I call it almost cute? I choose not to! 

@markangeltrueman attempted to make this grisly spider beautiful with the colored background! He failed!

@moderndayhippie found this deadly banana spider in his yard. I suggest that he move!

Another attempt by @chrismadboyc2016 to make a spider look cute......another fail!

What is it about these 8 legged creatures that creeps me out? I'm not sure but @faltermann  triggered me!

Here Are 2 Consolation Prize Winners!

These 2 were to good to leave out so I'm sending them .50 Steem each!

Not sure what's happening here @mweich but it looks nasty!

@old-guy-photos says that this guy almost looks cute. He's almost right!

Here's The Bonus Winner

As I wrote in my introductory post 1 Steem will go to the first Steemer that guessed the name of the spider that I showed as a sample for the contest.

The winner was @melinda010100 who correctly identified it as an Orb Weaver.

Payments will go out in the next 24 hours! Fast furious and USED! Isn't Steem awesome?
