Description

This unexpected little thing dropped on my shoulder while I taking pictures in my garden.
I seldom see red spider like this; I decided to take a quick shot. Since she landed on my right shoulder and I didn’t want to disturb her, so I had to hold my right shoulder still, stretch out my left arm and press the shutter with my left thumb. It’s pretty tough, but it turned out quite well. I hope it’s not a poisonous spider.
