Your photo
Hi,

I was glad to see your Brazillian Wandering spider foto. But I think it will soon get deleted because you have not as yet given permission for it to be used. Usually one adds a "license" notice that takes care of Wikipedias' worry about having somebody's copyrighted stuff onboard.

Also, it would be great if you could load your photo to Wikipedia commons. (Follow the link at the bottom of Spider to the commons and then chose "download file". That's the only kind of dangerous spider that we don't have a photo of. Somebody recently gave us some good Sydney Funnel-web tarantula pix.

Best,
