Did anyone besides me notice how they seem to disappear when you try to focus?

It's a spiny orb weaver, a crablike spider. Pretty cool shot. You run into these walking through the woods on occasion.

Thanks. I have a bunch in my yard & tend to ignore them but a friend had a fit wanting to know what they are & if they bite. She isn't fond of many things with more than 2 legs.

Spiny Orb Weavers are completely harmless to humans & animals, and they catch flies, mosquitoes, moths, grasshoppers, etc. I have a bunch in my yard & tend to ignore them but a friend had a fit wanting to know what they are & if they bite.

And if you get too close to them, they will suddenly drop to the ground until they're sure you're not going to hurt them. I was standing on a ladder trying to get a macro shot and the spider disappeared. A minute or two later, it climbed back up into the middle of the web.

I am glad that you are out!(That sounds like you are just getting out of jail or something.)That's a pretty spider, if you can call a spider pretty. Neat shot.
