    1. Michelle, not sure why I got four copies of the same comment. When I tried to delete the extras, this is what happened. Can you delete the first three? Thanks!

  9. Oh Leslie (and Michelle) I loved your poem and learning about this type of spider. I am eager to get your book. I know it will be a hit with many (but not my sister who for some reason cannot abide spiders, so poor her). Loved your video.

  12. So enjoyed this! I have a bit of a thing for spiders (and spider poetry) myself - SO clever. I knew about the hunting technique, but not the - um - camouflage! Great kick-off. Thanks, Leslie, and Michelle. (My teacher-daughter is sharing these posts with her third graders!)
