Description

It was -2c here or 30+f and i was out walking the feilds.I noticed some movement on the snow. Snaped a picture of this spider out walking on the snow!!! i know of landed locked fish in antartica that have antifreeze in thier systems. Iceworms as well. Now i can add this saskatchewan spider to that list!! I,m no bugologist so cannot tell you what type of spider it is.

Cool indeed (no pun); Looks like a Wof spider (what we used to call them back in Indiana).

Fascinating. Of course I prefer my spiders smashed flat.

An unusual environment for the spider but I guess the can adapt. Fine capture!
