Beautifully done. I did not know that spiders could have such spikes on their feet. Posted 8 years ago

  Thanks, Mike :)
  Lots of small stuff, you only get to see the details through macro or even super macro photography.
  Like the blue hints on the legs and part of the body, I didn't even see it with the naked eyes :D Posted 8 years ago
