Unidentified

Comments & ID Thoughts

After googling it, we're confident this is a Misumena Vatia. The article we read says it's a cousin to the tarantula and it's venom is deadly, but not to humans because they're unable to break through our sin with their fangs.

The one we found was about 2 cm without it's legs spread out.

We decided to let it go on its way. Was that the right decision?
