Pamsai, these spiders show a great variation of colors even within the same family.

deleting the missions, but they don't seem to be going! And I still don't have internet!! Visiting a friend to use hers for a little while. I don't know how to delete them. I'll check with support again.

Hi Pam, I hope you've got internet again - there are seven more photos of spiders to be deleted from my mission.

thanks Sergio... Many species in the family it seems, all with different markings on their abdomen
