I was walking to the tree under which I sit between classes, when I chanced upon this spider. When I first noticed it, it was squatting happily above a large, desiccated grasshopper. I was standing close, and zooming in closer to get a good shot when the spider suddenly thrust out its legs, growing three times its original size and taking up my entire viewfinder for the half second before I leapt backwards.
