Spider - no common name

Thanks Karen! Is it a new one to the mission?

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It was an exciting find in my yard! :-)

I try to disturb anything I photograph as little as possible so that I get more natural poses and better photographs. Spiders will usually bolt if you disturb them too much so I try to just sneak in and get the shot. I rarely handle any of the insects. They do not seem to appreciate it so much and rarely cooperate after being handled.

Thanks Maria dB and yeskay! I was very excited to find this one!
