8 legs + 1 body = 9. What is that thing?
Wow, what a creepy-cool spider. I love the color. I suppose he'd be camouflaged if he were crouched in dirt (versus hanging out on a red sign).

Looks part-bug, part-leaf. You've been taking some great photos, Leslee.

You do the best things with numbers.

Lorianne: Isn't he the color of those little newts you keep shooting?
MB: Yeah, it could easily be mistaken for a fall leaf.
Patry: Thanks. It was the spider I was going after, but the 9 adds a bit of oddity!

It doesn't look real, more as if were made of wood. I'm curious if anyone has identified it.

I've spent the last few days trying to remember the name of that bug. It's Wendy, I think. Wendy Hectoped. Yes, that's it.

That is a seriously weird spider.
