P8170163 E "ET, phone home!"

Looks like it has earphones! I just looked up spider anatomy and those projections from the head are "pedipalps": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedipalp
Actually, not an insect. It's an arachnid. Insects have 6 legs.
I think it's a wolf spider.

Great shot. I think I would have needed a longer lens!
