Congratulations sunnyjosef, your Red Tent Spider is our Spotting of the Day:
"Hidden in a curled leaf suspended her web, this Red Tent Spider (Cyrtophora unicolor) is our Spotting of the Day! As all spiders in the genus Cyrtophora, the red tent spider builds a large three-dimensional web in the middle of vegetation. Check out the spotting to discover the structure of the tent-shaped web".
