Chile peppers are often homes for many creatures, like spiders and ants.
I like shooting pics of them and wanted to share some special moments here.
Feel free to post yours!
Here's a pic where it looks that spider is making a bridge over an Bird's Eye Baby pod to another.
You can see how the spider is really concentrating here...

Spiders seem to like chiles a lot! :)
Many garden spiders may live on a chile plant for all season long!
They keep pest bugs away.
Here's another shot of the spider on Birds Eye Baby:

Great pics.! Fatalii
We've got a lot of spiders this year, and they sure enjoy my chilli's. Especially the one that you see in the pic., I love those creatures!, they just eat everything that comes a long and they are hungry. Free pest control indeed :)

More to come soon...
Well, I got to say that I'm glad I am not suffering from arachnofobia :D Thank God I don't have any spiders partying on my chillis. Only a few flies and other tiny harmless bugs... By the way, those are very nice photos with a stunning quality. I bet you have got an excellent camera or a huge magnifying glass. i have to admit that I'm a bit jealous :D
Very beautifull pics and nice looking spiders. The fly is very funny looking.
Umm... are you guys going to post more of these cool photos? They look so good! You must be professional photographers or something like that. Updates, please. Anyone?
