    Your opinion? Winged Tarantula (Antheraea Polyphemus)

    I had two(2) visitors in the past 2 weeks and I had to take some pictures of them. I am not a Macro photographer, but this had to be done and I am actually liking it. I got a male and female Moth Antheraea polyphemus. Hope is of your liking.
