Thanks Bruce,but this phone with its 3.2MP camera isn't a patch on the older one which only has 2MP but is much better.

Nic image cyclops, my girlfriend's father is a world renowned Arachnologist, and has lots of spiders including many tarantulas in his basement. Like this fellow:

It’s a Arboreal (Tree-dwelling) Cyriopagopus “blue” female from Pahang, Malaysia. You can die from it's venom. This isn’t a true macro, but it is a closeup.
