Daisies happen to be a favorite flower of mine. I love them for their slender simplicity and the pop of their primary colors. Yes, I know white is not a color, but if white is not primary, then what is? I tend to think of daisies as a sunflower lite. All the beauty, half the heft.
Spiders, on the other hand, happen to creep me out. I have spider nigthmares, fairly serious terrors that send me flailing from my bed, just to get away. They are rarer these days, but I am certain I’ve not seen the last of them.
Put the two together and what do you get? The above image, of course. Only I’ve taken the necessary steps to remove the color from both daisy and spider, though, if we’re being honest here, they were both white. And we all know white isn’t really a color anyway.
I watched this scene for a long time and was fascinated by what I can only ascribe to the spider as its “territorial stance.” Poised and ready, but for what?
I searched a few insect books (and yes, I know that spiders aren’t insects) to identify the little sucker, to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

*Shiver* I can’t stand spiders! It was the 1st thing I spotted in an otherwise beautiful photo
Dude… I had one of those dreams a few months ago. I don’t totally remember the dream, but I went from totally asleep to jumping out of my bed within a half a second. I remember jumping up and trying to brush imaginary spiders off of me. Scared me half to death. My fiancee had no idea what was going on. Creepy.
How’s the first week of daddy-hood going, btw?
