Artist's Comments

I was sitting in my room and I had just turned on my PS3 when I felt something tickling my arm. I looked down and saw this little guy walking around on me!

I really have no clue how he got no me in the first place? Maybe he jumped down on me from the ceiling, but I have a ceiling fan right above me... so that would mean that he was swinging around on one of the blades before base jumping off on to my arm! (Do you still consider it base jumping if the "base" is spinning? Or does it then turn into parachuting? Also, if you have no parachute... then when do you call it? Suicide?)

Anyway, I took the little guy outside and put him on this weird stalk thing that comes out of the center of an aloe plant we have outside. Then I ran back inside to get my camera so I could snap a pic or two so I could hopefully get an answer as to exactly what it is. It was nice enough to wait for me to return and pose for a couple of pictures, so I'm thankful for that! :)

If anyone knows exactly what it is, I'd appreciate you letting me know so I can give him (or her) a proper name. :D

A [base] jumping spider. ;)

[Note the 2 modified frontal legs(from far it looks like a scorpion but it´s just part of it's camouflage)]

Interesting... I wonder why it's back legs have no color to them? Maybe it's just a little baby. :)

I think I may call "him" "Wolfie". :D
