What is that? I mean, I can see the spider there, but what part of the spider are we looking at? It kind of looks like a cookie...decorated with a goofy face. And I know that's not what it is!

I can't stop scrolling back up to look at it. It's fascinating!

We are looking at it's back! It is a little unusual to see the legs which are normally tucked underneath when at rest. This was after a rain and I think it was in the process of cleaning off the water droplets.

I have two dominate spiders in my yard, the spineyback and Leucauge argyrobapta -
