Wo~So Beautiful~!!!
You must have used too much flash that the spider looks bright purplish.
Is it originally dark in color or it is really light purple ?
Thank you KarenL, kyros.v and IsmaelChavesAguilar.
kyros.v : I think the purple thing is some kind of a shell for protection. I might be wrong as well. :)
Gorgeous!
Is all that the actual spider??? This can't be very practical...
Anyone knows what that purplish thing is used for?
Wow, I've not seen anything like this before!
