Photo of glowing spider about 1 mm in diameter, January 30, 2009, San
Bernardino, ca.

People tell me the spiders do not have  bioluminescence. This one obviously
does,  note also that the web is NOT glowing, just the  spider, if it were
transmitted light the web would also  have light  transmitted through it.

Previous Id?
