CW: Spider, being a spider
Heyo friends, I met a #spider!
At one point I brought the camera too close and alarmed the poor thing, but it chilled out again after I backed off. Wild to me how spikey their legs are.

#SpiderSunday: several of the spiders I met on that one warm day last week! A running crab spider (_Philodromus_), a bold jumping spider (_Phidippus audax_), some kind of crab spider in tribe Coriarachnini (_Bassaniana_?), and a good old zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_) with what looks like most of a mesh-web weaver (family Dictynidae).

#SpiderSunday: a running crab spider (family Philodromidae) guarding an egg sac nestled among pine needles. I mostly find small orbweavers like _Zygiella_ at the tips of the pine branches so this was a pleasant surprise.

On the Beltline Trail the other day, my sister and I spotted this delightfully and unusually pink running crab spider (family Philodromidae). A closer look showed it was feeding on a bright red whirligig mite (family Anystidae)—perhaps how it got that colour??

Just under the wire for #SpiderSunday! I felt bad for this five-legged running crab spider (_Philodromus_ sp.) so I caught him a nice big midge which he quickly took from my hand.
