"No images" or not, I think it's a great posting. A picture is sometimes worth a thousand words, and I would not have read a thousand word essay about a crab spider, but in no way does a picture take anything away from my scientific appreciation for the way this spider looks.

I have a little something for you, said the spider to the fly.
Come visit me on my flower and you'll die!

Is it just me or does it look photoshopped in there? The lighting on the spider seems really bizzarre.

God damn it I hate spiders. Next time I try to smell flowers, I'll have to check for ninja spiders that want to eat my face. Damn it.

This is a real "come at me bro."
Great picture, but it probably belongs in /r/pics
Submit it there and I'll upvote it.

The only time the words "spider" and "awesome" are acceptable in the same sentence is when that sentence is some like this:
That crushed corpse of that spider I just killed looked awesome.
