Little White Spider on a Purple Wildflower
Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
April 10, 2012
I took this image in the White Tank Mountains directly west of Phoenix. The little white spider was quite upset that I was so close while taking a picture of his purple flower. I didn't even realize he was there until I got home and looked at the photo on my computer.
