This is a beautiful spider. Its abdomen is triangular to heart-shaped , with white spots on its bright orange body. Its two pairs of front legs are with strong spines for capturing prey. Its two hind pairs legs are relatively small. This spider look similar to the other Triangular Spider species, but less common. The spider was hiding under leaf and waiting for prey. Notice the spider had laid a layer of silk under the leaf. This helped the spider moving around under the leaf by grabbing on those silks. This spider does not build web. However, this silk layer laying skill may evolved from the web building skill.

...at the annual Keeneland horse track spring races. Ah, which one is most likely to win? On the other hand, which one can my betting dollar win the most? Which one is the best balance between risk and gain? Who is going to win?
Technical note: This is a great lens. With the aperture wide open, this telephoto lens completely separated the subject from a dense crowd of spectators in the stands. The background crowd is rendered as colorful bokeh. I am using a Nikkor FTZ2 adapter.
