Did anybody say something about.... SPIDERS ?????

...i promised @ruth-girl the other day on her post Hatching Hopes that i was going to upload some pictures of a giant spider i found on my garden few days back..
..so here i am,fulfilling my promise !!!..i apologize for the pictures,i know they are not so clear but anyway i tried my best..
...i used a flash-light on the first 2 pics that's why you see this yellow hue on the spider...it's not the natural color of the insect ,it's just the reflection of the light

...i imagine you can see the web... it was extra powerful...it was like strings put all together formatting a web... i was very surprised when i first spotted the spider ... i have never ever seen something like that before... 'she' was huge!!! ...i'm talking about a 4cm 'beast' .. i DO NOT exaggerate ... 4 cm in length she was!!!... i measured her ...just try to get a ruler to see what 4 cm means for yourself...
...the next 2 pics show how she actually looked like naturally without flash-light ...

..as you can easily see on the top of her back there are two strange things like small horns giving her a badass look ....i'm telling you it was not this kind of spider you wanna mess around with ....
...every time i was trying to get a nice shot of her , she was moving up and down the web sensing my presence in her area ... was i an intruder???...was i a delicious prey??? .. or just maybe another dork annoying her evening nap??? ...i will never find out..
...the thing i know for sure is that even spider-man would pay his respect to her so i decided to leave her in peace,though i don't know how peaceful can a creature like this be ..
... let me mention that her web was about 80 cm in length and about 50 cm in height !!!! ... i'm not joking guys!!!

..hope you like it...thank you!!!

P.S. i would very kindly ask @ruth-girl if she finds the time and scientific information of course to write an article about this spider
