Puzzle Description:

So I created a puzzle that was going to be for the WCP: a funnel web spider that Kate found during their stay in Sydney. (Only one of the most poisonous in the world.) However, even though the checker told me it was unique and solvable, when I went to solve it myself, it turned out to be one of the trickiest puzzles I've created! So this puzzle bites in more ways than one.

No guessing for me, but it sure was challenging. The long black stretches were my best clues.

Thanks for the fun!

i am sure this is probably a very good image but i am having trouble seeing the face
do you have a link to the image you based this on?
i see the legs and the lower abdomen part (whatever it is called)
great solve

Here's the image I used; I made the fangs a little bigger out of necessity (as if they weren't scary enough): http://abcnews.go.com/images/GMA/nm_SydneyFunnelWebSpider_090608_mn.jpg

You should still enter! I had a little trouble with the very bottom rows, until I realized that a foot had to be shifted, and then it solved nicely.

Made a few false starts but eventually got on the path. Very nice puzzle!

I'm creeped out...I guess that means good job on the image. ;)
No, really it is very good.

Yikes! At first I thought it might be a dog on a leash, at rest. Then it turned into a giant spider!

FYI, Jan's program for the checker is different (more accurate and thorough) from the program for the helper (quicker). Explanation can be found at the bottom of his FAQ.

Well, I solved it but I had to guess at least once. Beautiful image. Bet it was tough to design.

Great puzzle. No guessing, it is solvable by line and color logic.
