Simple but eloquent photograph of a very tiny spider that I did not even see until you pointed out the picture was about the spider not the interesting dumbstick tree. Scratches head and wonders if the dumbstick is related to the uglystick tree. You may recall that one. Figures prominently in put downs, like when you were young you go didn't just get hit with the uglystick, they used the whole tree. I didn't know there was a dumbstick, so reckon they might have got me with it. :O)
