Clinging to an old pipe in the dim light of dawn, for some she has six legs too many.

Protecting her egg sac atop a blade of grass, for some she has six legs too many.

Camouflaged in a sandy clearing and surveying for potential prey, for some she has six legs too many.

Skulking in grass and hay in the wee hours of the morning, for some he has six legs too many.

For some, six legs too many.  For me, legs enough to be captivating.
