I am not too hot on spiders, but it certainly is a beautiful one. I am very glad it wasn't in my house.

the poor spider looks as though he's out of his natural environment: I suppose a white tub is not a good place for camouflage.

did you rescue him or swat him? I always feel bad about killing spiders and would rather save them and kick them OUT of the house if I can.

I don't like spiders but avoid killing them whenever possible. I hope this one survived. It's a striking photo.

Love the details, quite a handsome spider, he was probably more scared of you, than you of him.
