Beautiful shot
Beautiful specimen, though just a little large for the leaf. (Gotta love those danglin' feet.)

Thank you
Ron! It was resting there like it just ate a large meal :^). Hey, it's missing part of its left front foot. Just noticed that.

Thank you Jeff!
It was resting on the leaf and was easy to approach. I got some closer shots of it, but picked this one for the Guide.
