User's notes
Came across these two guys cleaning out the garage. Chased my dogs away and came back to find the first one had flipped onto its back (photos 2 & 3) then flipped back over. Moving more stuff later I looked down to find the second one (photo 5) right against my toes. Lucky it didn't climb onto my foot. I had to prod both of them to move to a more hidden spot before my dogs spotted them so that I could continue to work. Spider 1 was not impressed (photo 1).
