The cephlothorax..., is that what it's called on spiders

reminds me of a tarnatula. I was going back in to work and was walking across the lawn when I just happened to glance down and to my left seeing this...THING! About 3/4" I suppose, in size but big enough to catch my eye. So I got down on the grass and...well with the 60mm, I had to get close...very close!

Thanks Sue

Excellent photos Ken. For you to be that close to the spider is saying something "Ken will do anything to get a shot"
