Field Notes

Description:

Same spider previously published. Less than 1/4 inch. Better macros! Surprised the spider was still building its trash line web into December. Temps are mild and sunny for December during the day. I was able to see pink and green along with off-white and dark chocolate brown. Amazing spider!

Habitat:

Meadow in the Poconos!

Notes:

See all photos for different views especially last one with its "mask"!
