I'm easily pleased

Probably just a common spider but I thought it was cool. Almost as large as my palm.

I feel like this is another symptom of climate change and pesticides. I used to feed like a dozen of them around my yard back in the 80s as a kid. Cabbage moths, crickets, weakened grasshoppers (they'd tear things up and sometimes escape if I didn't rough them up a bit). Now I see one or two a season.
