Description

I found this new spider in my backyard today. I looked him up and I believe he is a Tropical Orb Weaver. They hide under a leaf during the day and build a web each night to hunt. Really pretty as far as creepy spiders go. He is pretty small, about the size of a nickel. Thank you for your much appreciated comments and have a great Wednesday! Wendy Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30

What a cute one! Nice find. This isn't that creep. Come across the 4-6 ince ones while walking in the FL woods, and then you'll know creepy! ;^]

Seems pretty, but I n't try to touch it.. Don't know well the spiders so I'm suspicious when I meet them. I think I'd transmited that like an aversion to my daughter, Lisa, because she always shouts when a spider skims her. But, Lisa shot one in our garden, I gonna search if I've got in my files... Still a very great shot, Wendy, you do beautyful pics !
