What type of Spider be dis?
This was a photo from a trip to Puerto Rico and was taken in the hills, next to a waterfall. I was looking at the forest and just about ran into the little guy. HAHAHAHA.. (*SO Glad I did not tho.. Hahah... .. )
I have no idea what type of spider be dis, so if the hive mind has any ideas, let me know!
Ack.. just looking at it brings back memories of terror seeing it inches from my face in a "Oh, Why Hello Their" moment...

Good find, good find!
I am happy to read that if me at that little Golden Silk Orb Spider kissed, I would not have died.. HAHhahaa.. nice.
