Field Notes

Description:

I had this spotting while deployed to Iraq in 2005. I saw quite a few of these but was only able to get pictures of this one. They were great at keeping the other bugs in check and never bothered us.

Notes:

Not an actual spider, these amazing arthropods are a separate order.
