Have to agree, it's colour is pretty. Still wouldn't want it crawling on me though...

This one is even redder in person. I didn't notice those black dots till viewing the pic on the computer.
Hopefully he'll stay on the same plant and pose for me again.. he's probably the prettiest spider I've seen in our garden.

OOOOhhh he's lovely... don't care much for spiders...but I tolerate them cause they are part of the mosaic...keep a look out for the large black and yellow spiders...can't remember the proper name...but they spin huge webs and are the gardeners best friend...they are about two inches long including their legs...and bright yellow, black and white.

Michaelgmcd..

wow, SHE is gorgeous. does it stay around often, or a one time shot.
That's a jumping spider. though, I don't think it's poisonous.

She was there two days in a row, and I haven't seen her since. She didn't do any jumping for me.. :)
It's the first time I've seen this particular type, but am ready with a camera for the next one
