Itsy Bitsy Spider

It's a small world after all. This small (about 1/4") spider was hanging out in a plant on our front deck. The bright colors caught my eye as we were sitting near by having a coffee brake.

In the video you will see the spider putting it's feet into it's mouth. It was either cleaning them or putting saliva on them to spin some web, not sure. I think it is a variety of orb-weaving spider, don't realy have a clue.

If you click on the thumbnail you will be directed to another site to view the video. Once there you can select the size you want to watch. The link is for the medium version as I recall. The bigger the better. The movie is just over 1 minute so you won't have to wait too long for it to load.
