Unfortunately, we don't know what
kind of spider this is (anybody out there know?). But we do
know that it managed to grab a big ol' dinner (looks like a
cicada) for some hearty eating.
the spider in this photo is known to the locals
up there as a golden orb spider

Thanks so much for writing in! We scoured
the internet to try to figure out what kind of spider this is so we
appreciate you giving us the information.
