Creepy-Crawler.

Porrhothele antipodiana, the
black tunnel web spider is native to New Zealand. This primitive
spider is related to the dangerous Australian tunnel web and to the
tarantula family. While relatively harmless, it is still one of the
few spiders whose appearance makes my skin crawl. Photo details: Canon
40D, ISO
100, 1/640th second exposure
with a Canon EF 35mm lens @ f-9.1.
