And the red around the eyes looks like fire made metal, or rubie. It's a beauty.
It looks like it is made of emerald. And my birthstone is emerald. I love it.
I always love seeing such bright, iridescent sightings in nature. Great shot. Thanks for sharing!
I found one today near Hillsboro, MO
I found today the same in my garden in México. A small spider on my advocade tree. He first sat there and jumped on top of a housefly and jumped back on the leaf. A moment later the fly came back on another leaf and he jumped on other leaf. To finally arrived to the leaf where was the fly and she got it.
I got bitten by this little one. To tell you the truth it took a while for what I’m about to say. It didn’t really do anything serious alarming to be honest. It’s been years. But my doodoo turning green. My palms itch. I got good luck with money... if you see one? Especially in the house; let it live! Let it loose outside I kind of like these spiders I’m amazed. I’ve been a Spider-Man lover since a kid. I guess God has a funny way of giving his gifts because that was a nice setback!
Cheerio
I saw one of these recently in Houston TX
I found one of those in Mexico. No idea of what they are yet? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/960...
Thank you Mark.
Thank you Sanmiggums.
Yeah, she is really small.
If it was larger, I may have sent it to Mark for his Christmas tree :D
