Sorry to anyone who is having trouble using this site tonight. I don't know why there are server connection failures. If it continues I'll contact someone to check it. The spider is Pisaurina mira, a Nursery Web Spider. The photo shows her eye arrangement (yay new cellphone!)

Twenty minutes! That’s how long it took for the P. mira submission to fully upload. I timed it. I don’t recommend uploading pics for at least a few hours. If you leave the site during the upload the photo may not upload with the text.
I noticed the lag, too. I think it has now subsided, though.
Great photo Tangled!!!
Thanks! I noticed that the photos submitted are getting much better, now I know it’s because cellphone cameras changed drastically and now can do close-ups and/or near-darkness.

Beautiful spider 🙂
Beautiful! At first look I though it was Enoplagnatha genre.
Enoplagnatha ovata are pretty spiders, that’s the only way a spider can get a common name like “Candy Stripe Spider.” Pisaurina mira is the only spider that I can think of that has a wide (usually) brown stripe down the entire dorsal surface. The brown stripe is convenient for recognizing them. I like these, they’re very willing to be photographed.
