Very Nice Find & Capture certainly an interestingly colored fellow.
What's with the SUPER HEAVY line of Web behind him? Never seen something like that before ?????

Happy Shooting

Oh, you and me both! :) There's some uncanny sense tho, that kicks in and always makes me stop before I run full force into them...like, we're staring eyeball to eyeball but at least I don't have them in my hair!! :) A marvelous capture, Jim - there are tons of them at LBJ Wildflower Center and you found yourself a very fine specimen - great shooting! #8818472
