Comments & ID Thoughts
Nursery Web spider, hiding on our front porch in Western Massachusetts until my sister surprised hiding under an outside door mat. She said it jumped about two inches before scuttling off into some bushes. Later, after working in the front garden she kicked off her shoes and the spider fell out.
