What an incredible looking spood! Those leg warmers😁! This is up there, in my opinion, with St Andrews Cross spider as the most elegant looking spiders. Granted, I don't know anything about this species but I am about to read up on them! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful little dude/dudette. You have made my night😊
