This guy is about an inch long (head/thorax) and is pale gray with black spots. There are actually tufts of black hair on their first and last legs. The web was about 36" and the guide told us the web is extraordinarily strong. Lucky for all of us, they only live in the swamp or the woods. He truly was beautiful. Another spider was called a "crab spider" because he did indeed look just like a crab up close, but I couldn't seem to get a picture as he was so well camouflaged. Had the guide not pointed him out, we never would have seen it.
