I love the composition. It's poised perfectly between at least 2 leaves. The markings are astonishing!

I was scared too often when I was a child that I suspect I'll always be a bit arachnophobic!

But photos have no power to scare; they can't crawl on me!

I'm glad that you're able to find beauty in the grass spider.
