Really great pics, everyone! Bill, I love the tree frog. Really cool.

Here are several shots of a Marbled Orb Weaver. I found this guy in one of my coleus cuttings. Didn't even know he was in there till I went to strip the lower leaves off of it. I touched it before seeing it, and it fell out onto the floor. It was really sluggish from the cold, so I put it on a plate to photograph it. As you can see in the one shot with the penny, he is just about that size. My nephew was fascinated, and my friend Gretchen was having an anxiety attack over it. I let it go after my nephew and I took all the pics we wanted.
