I found this in the early hours of the morning, during sunrise. This spider was frozen when I first encountered it. As I started taking photos, it slowly started to defrost, creating this beautiful effect where the spider looks like it's been crystalised. The more I continued watching, and the more it defrosted with the sunrise, the spider seemed to wake up and started to continue on about its day like nothing had happened and it hadn't been completely frozen for the night. I've never in my life seen anything like this. Nature is absolutely incredible!
