A prickly situation Micro Nikkor 55mmf2.8 at f5.6 P1031084

[Scientific name: Tasmanicosa godeffroyi}

skin that had been shed found hanging above this prickly bromeliad flower, full spidey marks for selecting a beautiful place to shed your skin.

This spider is not known to be dangerous to humans.

Some sites warn they may pose a danger to dogs and cats.
