This Lynx Spider is a very common shrub dweller. Its thorny legs look menacing upon closer look. I certainly would not want her to wrap her arms around me if I'm at that size. :) She got nice butt anyway...

This female Banded Phintella (Phintella vittata) is notoriously tiny (approx 5 mm) focusing on her sexy body is no fun :)
