I’m just glad this is a photo. If you look closely, in the reflection in the dew you will see two dragonflies copulating.

  1. I’d have missed the dragonflies if you hadn’t mentioned them.

    Thought I recognized the spider so went to look it up. Scrolled slowly down the page, examining each picture, and finally got to the bottom … someone has a sense of humor. http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html#Huntsman%20Spider

    1. Turns out you don’t have to go to the bottom …

      1. LOL… no, you don’t. Assuming you mean the Huntsman spider moving at the top. That’s the one I saw first, but only had about a half an inch of it showing just barely at the bottom of my screen. And thought… “did that just move?” It would have been a better effect to me if I had the whole thing visible when I saw it move the first time. I’m sure I would have jumped.

        1. I managed to slide past the first Huntsman without noticing anything. So I’d gone all the way down the page carefully examining each spider and was clear down at the bottom … before I jumped. Too bad the one at the top moves. The stage needs to be properly set.

    2. What? The spider moving? Oh, that photographer is from Sumatra or something like that. So I doubt that critter will be found state-side.
