The Mystery of the Six Legged Spider
This weekend I took a brief opportunity to look at what I could find outside. The weather has been cold here and we recently got over a snowstorm, so I wasn’t too optimistic. In addition, it started raining soon after I got out so I didn’t have much time to take any pictures.
I did manage to find this tiny spider though on my kids’ slide.
This spider was incredibly tiny – requiring 5x magnification from my MP-E 65 to get this shot. After downloading the shot, I looked through some of my books to attempt to get an ID – but after some investigation I can 100% say I have no idea what type of spider this is.
When my wife looked at the picture, she picked out an obvious mystery. It only has six legs.
