You never know what you'll find in a bush..

While at a birthday party, Ellen noticed a spider that was living in one of the bushes. When she told me to come look at it, I thought it was a toy, but apparently, it's real. This is the other side of the "masked spider" (as I named it)

It looks like it has a monster face! Let's just say I zoomed in to 16 to take this picture, so I was nowhere near it.

WOW! that's a big spider! do you know what the name of it is? is the black thing on the top of the last picture it's face?

Yep, the last picture is of it's face. I don't know the name of it, no-one around here seems to know the name of it, they say that the name is "just spider".

The black part is actually the spider's abdomen. If you look closely, the "head" is upside down. Sometimes spiders have crazy designs to frighten other predators or warn other animals that they aren't to be messed with.
