White Cobweb-Weaver Spider - Enoplognatha ovata - female

White Cobweb-Weaver Spider - Enoplognatha ovata - Female
Atlantic Mine, Houghton County, Michigan, USA
August 2, 2008
Size: Body 8 mm long
It looks to me like the lateral eyes have been fused together, giving an appearance of six eyes total rather than eight.

Please note the instructions on the image submission form requesting "Please do not include any other text or markup in the image."

Whoops
Sorry about that, I missed reading the instructions about markup. Here is a clean copy of the image, with no tags.

I'd originally put the tags in for use on my personal arthropod web page, because a number of people have asked me to specifically point out whatever features I'm talking about in the text.

this text okay
I think that instruction is for leaving your signature on your image and other markings that aren't useful to identification. This kind of text is okay.

I'm not sure
It says "A copyright notice in the image is reasonable, but note that your copyright will automatically appear below the image. Please do not include any other text or markup in the image." These type of comments could easily be added to the comments (as it currently is) without marking up the images.

You're right
I guess I just remembered it the way I think it should be. :)
