    crab or jewel spider

    Good catch since they are so small.

    All opinions expressed by this person are purely that, opinions which means she doesn't actually know anything about photography.

    Re: I think it's a spider

    It looks a little like an arrowhead orb weaver, but I'd need to see a shot of it from the back.

    Re: I think it's a spider

    It is a crab-like spiny orb weaver. They are pretty neat and pretty hard to photograph - small with lots of contrast and glare off the white part. Good catch.

    Yeah, I'm not a big fan of getting close to spiders either.
