This docile Lynx Spider arrived on my desk in a container this morning.
It had shed its exoskeleton during the night and is probably 'in recovery'
where it has settled on the rim of a pot of Violets.
Below is an extreme close-up of the exoskeleton showing the frightening fangs!

My thanks go the "Leafies" for this beautiful specimen!

Please don't shoot?
A perfect 'hands up' from a fly that was cleaning his eyes.

I forgive you for not wanting to pose for a photo today......
(Fortunately I was able to cheat by posting part of a previous photo)
