But didn't look like anyone posted spiders in the wildlife section.

My wife was so scared of this thing, these 2 are the only ones anywhere near in focus. She kept thinking it was about to jump on her....

What I had 10 years ago (All gone, don't ask.):
70D, 100L macro, Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD, Magic Lantern, 600ex-rt, FotoPro Mini5, Macbook Pro 15" i7.
What I am looking at now:
I am going to start with the 24-70 2.8 glass. Some R body to pair it with.

Thank you, sir. She was excited and terrified of the spider. Was about 6-8" across lengthwise.

Interesting and very nice images, Michael. That does look like a rather large spider!
