Description

Fascinating creature. Very small; when rolled up it would have fit comfortably on a fingernail. Bright coloring. Red mark on either side of body. At first I thought it was dead, but it was just being quiet hoping I would go away.

I see this spider every year now that I know to look for it. Sometimes it has some pink on the sides. (I think it is the same spider.)
