Field Notes

Description:

This large spider lurks. It spins webs. It hunts. It has spiny legs.

Habitat:

Shrubs in wooded areas. Petals of leaves of small plants and bushes. It will find lunch.

Notes:

This spider likes the sun. It waits for unsuspecting insects to land within reach. I do hesitate to smell the roses.
