hey bugman,
I found this thing hanging from its string, over my bed. Here he is. He’s about the size of a nickel. Do you know what it is? I absolutely LOVE your website,

Hi Eytan,
This is a Jumping Spider in the family Salticidae. Argiopes are sometimes called Writing Spiders, but this is the first time we have seen a Reading Spider.
