Photos of spider faces can be scary. Of course, it's even worse to look at horrific spider bite pictures. But closeup arachnid pictures also make the eight-legged creatures seem almost human; some look angry, bored, pretentious, or spaced-out. If you gaze into a spider's eyes, you might even find a sort of kinship.
As a photographer, it's probably challenging to stare directly into the face of a creepy-crawly. Accordingly, those who do collect detailed photos of spider faces deserve recognition; they make the intricacies of the animal kingdom that much more accessible.
