Bright-blue, 7-legged spider photographed

Hi Borisiwanttoknow. You say........ ''Well I can compare it to the rock that it has been pictured with, and by the legs, their size too'' Well take a look at my photo below. It is really Godzilla....just look at the size of it's head! Haha you shouldn't treat me like a child, it's fine you have your opinion and i have mine. I think that spider is bigger than most spiders and my eyes seem to agree You do not think so and that's about it ˇˇ yeah - you can tell by comparing it to the size of the black behind it. lol Well, if you can't doesn't mean that we all can't

I think that what we were getting at is that their is nothing standardized, like a ruler or object with a known size that is in the picture to compare it to. Rocks can be any size, from a pebble to a boulder. Having a scale-object in the picture makes it clear to anyone looking how big the other objects in the picture are. It renders the photo less useful as evidence because without a referenceable scale object it could be any size. We aren't challenging your abilities of perception, just your facts.

i agree with you 100%, it's just that i think that spider is big, and until i'm proven wrong i will continue to think so. Though i agree you with you, like i said before Lets assume that the spider in question is a Huntsman Spider, which is what it looks like (but spray painted blue), then it is one of the largest spiders in the UK. All of,,,,oh,,,around a two inch leg span max (for an adult spider) Daddy Long legs is much larger though

All of,,,,oh,,,around a two inch leg span max (for an adult spider) Daddy Long legs is much larger though It could be as you say the Huntsman's, they are very alike. But the appearance of the legs to me looks different than the Huntsman's, somehow thinner.

Haha! Catch a few Huntsmen spider and dye them pinks and blue then set them free! Watch everyone freak out!

Definitely painted, however, not a spider expert but the body looks wrong for a huntsman and the legs look wrong for a wolf spider (aside from there not being enough of them) but seeing a 7 legged spider is nothing out of the ordinary.

Surely the most obvious reason this spider has a leg missing is because it crawled into my bedroom when i was 10 and i had nothing better to do. Lucky git got away before i could remove the rest of its legs though. As for being blue, thats just taking it to the next level. Kids are cruel.

Cobalt Blue tarantulas are an awesome blue color. Though this is not a tarantula. My uneducated guess is that it is a hunting spider of some sort rather than a web builder. Why would any hunter want to glow dayglo blue? But I have no idea really. I'd have to say fake anyway, some of the blue has rubbed off on one maybe two of the leg segments.
