Thanks Anna for taking time to comment on my blog post. It's highly valued.
Great photo! I've never seen such a white spider in person. I have seen giant crab spiders before, but they don't look nearly as cool as the white one you found. It’s crazy how they blend in so well.
Hi

Thank for shearing and the enthusiasm
Waiting for more spiders and insects
Amir
Thanks Marie for your feedback. They blend so well that one needs good eyesight to point out them.
