Image cropped and enlarged. I couldn't get too close to her. She's in a mood today. And a bite from her would dampen my Holiday spirit.

Image Details:

Angelina Jolie is a regular and welcome visitor to the Observatory. It's very difficult to get a macro shot of a non-captive Huntsman. They are so darn fast. But Angie is quite pregnant and chose to take a defensive stance rather than scurry off. Angie has 8 eyes, spiky legs and a nice furry body. And large fangs. But I love those lips! She really is a sweetheart.
