Arachnophobia. 30x25. Private collection. 2012-2013.

Might be a little while before I jump into another one of these. On a side note, an entomologist friend of mine told me it looked more like a tick than a spider. I was aiming for spider but it's OK because they're both arachnids and I dislike them both. Oh and leeches. Gross.
