This spider spent the past few weeks hanging out near my ceiling. A couple of days ago it finally got low enough for me to take a closer look. I'm not really sure about it's measurements, but I would guess it was a couple of inches all stretched out like that. After the photo shoot, I picked it up in a paper towel and moved it outside, where is crawled off into the flowers. Any thoughts on an ID would be much appreciated. Thanks!
