 Pattern on a spider reminded me of a sterotypical sombrero-wearing mustachioed bandit.

This spider was shy and kept running away, so I couldn't get up close with a macro or close-up lens -- shot from a few feet away with full telephoto. Had to crop tight and upsample. :-(

Maybe if I stand very far away and I squint my eyes I could try to see something.... I think its a bit of a long shot. Too contrasted and absolutely no focus anywhere.

I'm really sorry, I've looked at this for a long time and just can't see 'it'. Maybe some 'legs'?
