Thanks, thought so as well, b

Thanks, thought so as well, but the help guide said not to throw a name in unless I knew.
Dumb Yankee Spider, don't they know this is Confederate land? hehe.
Probably the same for the one I found this weekend, but I didn't have time to flip her over.
So do I move these now that they have an ID, or does someone else?
