Journal article
I'm writing a journal article about mygalomorphs in Arkansas. I know your images are under a Creative Commons license, but I'd still like express permission to use this photo in the article. Also, do you by chance remember any more specific details about where the spider was when you photographed it? It looks like a painted surface like a wall or something.
