This is my next entry in Becky’s January Squares Photo Challenge – Up.
In case you’re wondering: This is an Australian Crab Spider (or White Crab Spider) and their bites are venomous producing mild (but significant) effects on humans ranging from localized pain, redness, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and swelling. Luckily, the symptoms generally subside after 1-2 hours, and equally lucky, it did not bite me.
Small but mighty, eh? Great picture!

Thank you 🙂 – and I guess that’s one way to look at it.

Doesn’t look as scary because it is white but seems like there’s a lot of bad side effects after being bitten.

I certainly do not wish to be bitten.

That’s a very cool spider. I hope the bite is purely defensive.

Unfortunately no, hence the increased blood pressure 😊
