  1. Upon first glance I thought I was looking at the bottom side of a head of lettuce and that little spider body was the stem... boy, that tells you where my mind is. (In the produce drawer?)

    Super cool pic, I would have totally screamed and then come back to take the pic, and then run away screaming.

  2. oh, well how that works is, I often don't even SEE the spiders I'm photographing until later. And when I do, I can't see them very well until I get the picture up on the computer. For a lot of bugs, I'll try and figure out what they are by comparing them to what's on bugguide.net, but I couldn't even BEGIN to ID this one. A) there are a lot of spiders to look through and B) oh dear god, it gives me the willies.
