  1. It's a common specie, but this is an uncommon shot of it. Spectacular and deep colors. Great! Posted 12 years ago
  2. I agree, it is good to see the underside :) Posted 12 years ago
    1. It was at head level, so I was lucky enough to see it before getting spiderweb all over my face :) Posted 12 years ago
