Very cool!
I keep telling my brother how beneficial these spiders are but he keeps killing them - they're all over his basement. I'll have to send him a link to this photo. Nice shot.

 
Yes they are a little creepy
looking with those super long legs, but they really are a beneficial spider. If he has that many down there I'd be curious to know what they are eating!
