Are we tired of Platycryptus undatus yet? No.

Hey. I ain’t askin’. I’m tellin’. We ain’t tired of Platycryptus undatus yet.

This is the same spider that was on my window sill a couple of weeks ago. Normally when I shoot against the screen I don’t expect the images to turn out, but this time… wow. Great silhouette.

I don’t know if you agree or not, but I think this is worthy of wallpaper. I couldn’t get the dimensions right to make a good 1920×1200 like I normally do, but here’s a pretty decent 1680×1050 version.

    GYAAHH!! I just want to go through every post from now on and jump out of the comment thread with my scary bug noise that I learned on the lacewing larvae post.

    Or have I had too much coffee?

    Thanks for the post anyway. I still thinks these guys / girls are cute.
