Interesting color patterns on that spider. Florida has an abundance of bugs for you to photograph... :- )

I've never even heard of this spider let alone seen one. Thanks for sharing your find. You have a great collection of superb photographs.

Cool shot!

While you didn't win my Cool Spiders photo challenge, if I could have picked a second photo to win, it would have been yours! Congratulations on taking such a great photo, I can't wait to see more from you in the future.
