The person who gave me the ID said these photos would be frassed, so I had removed them. Are they ok after all?

sometimes I frass, sometimes I keep
Your images are the first in this county for this month. Also, in this case it bothered me a little that I couldn't see the markings very well. I have just that 1% doubt on this ID that I'd like to keep it in case I figure out I'm wrong. If you could get a dorsal view next time that would be very helpful.

Eventually these images will likely be frassed because 1) they are a little dark, so the ventral details are hard to see 2) there is no dorsal. A better set of images will eventually be posted from your county/state in June and then yours will be frassed.

Thanks for explaining the thinking behind this. Unfortunately, I couldn't get around to the other side to take a dorsal view. I will be going back to this place in July some time; if the web and spider are still there, I will try for better shots. Thanks!
