Just got off one shot and it scampered for the holly bush. LOL! I'm satisfied with it since that I got the right side. =) Now it can live without me sneaking up on it anymore.
This is a wasp spider. The thermophilic spider arrived in Poland about 15 years ago and everyone chased after him. There is a lot of it now and it is a problem.
I photographed one of these again this week, but it's been a rough week: I flipped in the lake Wednesday. My phone and point-and-shoot camera got wet. They've been in a zip-lock bag with years of collected desiccant packets. This afternoon will be 48 hours and I'll find out if they'll power up again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@rhoing Oh my gosh, Thom! I'm so sorry that happened. I hope those packets work. I save mine too in a jar. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best outcome for you!
@marlboromaam No. And no. Neither device powered up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But my laptop read the point-and-shoot memory card, so I didn't lose any of the few photos I hadn't downloaded yet. I'll delay getting a new point-and-shoot camera. If the new phone has a much-better camera than my old phone, then I may not miss the P&S. Several lessons learned this week. Off to shop for a phone (online). My phone was a Christmas gift from Clare … in December 2016! I can't complain about getting 3¾ years out of my first smart phone!
You can see a difference in their markings on their back. =)
