    Checking after uploading it’s obvious the image compression actually makes this much easier to spot than the original photo.

    Odd how that works

          God damn, that’s some effective camo I never appreciated until now.

            I was just about touching it to point it out and my son couldn’t see it until it moved

          Oh, I thought I’d found it, about a foot directly above that. There’s a tiny yellow spot, and what looks like camo legs.

        Ah, in that case probably Hersilia sp. Comparison

        Does it have the very long spinnerets (“tails”)?

    Trick question: there is no spider. Or it’s a close-up of giant spider legs. One of the two.
