Pisauridae

Rothus purpurissatus

Description:

Unwelcome visitor in the TV room. Captured it for a photo session before released into the garden. Some spiders cannot climb glass objects, like this one. I put it in a large salad bowl with vertical sides where it could walk around but not escape. Perfect for a photo session.

Its not too bad. Some spiders cannot climb glass walls. Took these photos while it was wandering around inside a salad bowl with steep sides. Small payment for invading the house.

Beautiful series. To be honest, I don't think that I could sit still long enough to take one picture of these. Great job!
