I'm filming a band at a bar, just a different kind of animal :-)

Sometimes I am far away from being an expert ;-)... Looking at your avatar I was wondering what you are looking into, I think it is not a microscope and I was wondering what the dark beer is doing there ;-)...

Thanks for that, I'm proving my none expert status.

Please, verify, most of this kind of spiders are not correctly IDed. Other candidate would be Micrathena sagittata, but I think it is Sexspinosa: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M1dnhO60Ewc/TpJm0sfPqQI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/-a2QtyisLUI/s1600/Spiny+spider+-+Micrathena+sexspinosa.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/berniedup/6952788964/
