User's notes

This spider was so awesome. When it came down onto the leaf it looked like it had wings and was closing them so I thought it was a moth. It was like an orangey blob with a little bit of fat triangle shape to it. The top legs moved back and forth for a little bit like moth antenna. But when I got the pics I could see it was a spider. About 1cm across. wow.
