I've been looking at this image for 3 days, and I am still having
problems discerning the spider.
Did you notice that it's a GESO? Did you scroll down to other photos?
For example, the next one in the series, the spider is a bit more visible:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/29856564692/
I think I am finally able to see its eyes (2 with a catch light in each,
and maybe one more on top with two catchlights, including one orange).
I'm pretty sure that when I took that photo, it was on the other side of
the cocoon. Since a few people are less than fond of spiders,
particularly closeups of spiders, I put a photo of just the cocoon first
in the album, so that wouldn't be what people saw in the album thumbnail.
BTW, Larry, did you notice some sort of "color banding" in the background?
When I am looking at the "maximized" verion of the image in Flickr,
right in the middle (just left of the cocoon), there are bands of two
different levels of brown.
This might be an artifact of JPEG compression. Or, it comes from the
dark shadows that are "clipped".
On flickr, there are some jpeg artifacts. When I look at the original
in lightroom, very closely, I can see a dirt spec on the sensor.
(In non-maximized version that banding is much worse, -- it has several
steps.)
In the background on several of the photos, the house has cedar siding,
and when I was processing it in lightroom, I'd get the blue clipping
indications in a banding pattern showing the cedar planks.

The caterpillar I photographed a couple days ago seems to have gotten
around to wrapping a cocoon. However, there seems to be a spider that
thinks it's a pretty nifty MRE.

BTW, someone pointed out that what I thought was a spider in the
previous
photos was probably a mosquito.
