A Neat O Spider!!

How does an organism so primitive seem so savvy? Spiders make me ponder. Is it their solitary nature and stunning strategies that evoke in me the poetic thought of being the first living creature with a sense of self?

Excellent!! Shot in the field? I love Dolomedes...they look so unreal when they do their water ballet thing.
