Or else, lands you in the middle of a puddle, then brings you back— breathing, kicking granted through gaps you come to find that underneath the layers within you light shines boldly lucid *** © 2022 selmamartin.com

So fun to find visitors amid the floral life of spring. Sometimes I see them when I take the photo and other times, they are an unexpected bonus.
I’ve seen many a spider – I save house spiders… though some spiders like the small brown reculse can be poisonus. I’ve not seen a spider with green legs before!
I looked her up, she could be a; “Crab spiders have 8 eyes and ability to see in all directions. Males have more slender body and longer legs. Name “crab spider” refers to crab-like shape of the body and ability of these animals to walk sideways and backwards, just like crabs. Crab spider is diurnal animal (active during the day).” Also; “Because they eat pests like flies and mosquitoes, crab spiders are generally beneficial. They are venomous, but most crab spiders have mouthparts too small to pierce human skin. Even the giant crab spider, which is large enough to successfully bite people, typically causes only mild pain and no lasting side effects.” – Be careful!
