The Not So Itsy Bitsy Spider

So as I was merrily watering my garden a couple weeks ago, I noticed a giant spider web with what appeared to be a big leaf stuck to it. Then the leaf moved. Then I noticed the leaf had 8 nasty long legs. I froze, stifled a scream, and ran to the front door to call for help. I really thought this thing was going to eat me. My heroic hubby confidently strolled outside with me and I pointed at the furry, leg-bearing leaf and said, "WHAT.....IS....THAT!?" He peered a little closer, probably thinking it was my usual freak-out over a tiny little arachnid, and then exclaimed, "Holy sh*t! That thing is huge!" He then went for the camera and snapped this lovely shot of Leafy. I always tell people that there are three things that scare me more than anything: Clowns, Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance, and...you guessed it...spiders.
