Description

Nikon 7900 pocket camera - hand held image. It has been a slow week for progress on my house project. My back needed a rest and the weather has been gloomy. Misty rain almost all day - every day. I have been spending the time researching a number of different air handling options. I did mange to take a short walk during a brief bit of sunshine yesterday and while looking at Dogwood blossoms, I noticed this little male spider. I do not know the species but the enlarged ends (pedipalps) of the front appendages is a sure indication that it is a male. They are used in mating. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee
