What a great shot! He's kind of cute in a buggy-eyed, furry-faced kind if way. What do they do for gardens? Eat bad bugs?

mb--yes, they hunt "bad bugs", by sneaking up on them and jumping--great if you have bugs on your garden plants!

Where do you get these kinds of spiders? Do they eat snakes? Great photo, cute...

This little sweetie is about 1/4 inch in size, and probably is in everyone's garden already, just not usually noticed...Would it eat a snake if it could find one small enough? I have no idea!

How cool and cute is that?! Love this lil' spider.

But...how did you get him to hold still long enough to photograph?

Lori--he held still because he was checking ME out! (Although not for long before he scurried away...)
Thanks so much for visiting my blog--glad you like my spider friend, too!

Spiders have always freaked me out. But I have to agree with you: it's actually kinda cute.

gracie--what a great image! That just about says it all!

lee--thanks for appreciating!

rhea--We can always learn to see the beauty in "creepy" things, I don't think it has to be something we're born with. Nature is full of such treasures! Thanks for the comment, welcome!
