Great spotting flowntheloop! Please consider adding it to this mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8176997
Haha. I'm not usually skittish around spiders, but this kind might make me a bit twitchy ;P
Thank you, Christine! My husband (who is not a fan of spiders) notified me of its presence outside and let me do my thing :D I was so happy to witness it!
