Superb sighting. I'm guessing real estate is at a premium. Nicely done Tom.

Interesting shot. I can't figure out quite what I'm looking at, not being familiar with this spider. But it makes a good , almost abstract sort of composition for me. :)

Tom, I don't know much about macro, but it looks like the focus is sharper on the leg than the head?
