    Default Help identifying something

    Have any one of you ever seen this animal? I sure haven't. With my glasses on I did not see it well and thought it was a lady bug who got caught in a spider net so I removed it. A few minutes later it was back on the spider web so I assume it belongs there and is the builder of it. Isn't it a weird looking thing, only about 4 mm wide.

    I thought it looked like one of the enemies from the Mario Bros video games.

    Awesome creature!
    I never have seen one before, but it also doesn't live in Europe.
    Dear people, I am not much around because right now games and riddles don't fit in my life. You may PM me for help with riddles I once played, but there is only a very slim chance I will answer because remembering how to solve levels takes quite a lot of time and I don't have that time right now. Thank you for understanding.

    Makes me think of a little, mini dinosaur. Some sort of dinosaur spider. LOL A bit like the Stegosaurus or something.
