I don’t use a macro lens, especially with monsters.
A long lens keeps me far away, I can’t even focus if too close.

This is about the end of the swamp spider season. I see a few, but not many.
Better yet, less webs to walk into on trails, because that’s just freaky!
You are feeling brave 🙂 What a beauty you have captured here, Ted! Good job it already has food!
Probably some poor small child !!!
