Spider - Pisaurina mira
Akron, Summit County, Ohio, USA
July 16, 2011
found this spider on the pedal of a children's riding toy. It seemed to keep those front two legs together even while crawling/ It was very shy, would not move once it noticed me - stayed there for the rest of the day even once I went in the house!
