My friendly pond tenant. Late on the rent again. 
I don’t know if it is intentional or not, but the black t-shirt reminds me of the lyric to a song from the Who’s rock opera Tommy called Pinball Wizard.
This is from way before you were born.
See me,
Feel me,
Touch me,
Heal me.
At my favorite table
He can beat my best.
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
I ain’t seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.
Although Tommy was a “deaf, dumb and blind kid” he was a champion pinball player. Pinball was a physical version, an ancestor of current video games. I just googled pinball and it looks like it is still played today. I didn’t know that.
Are you going to litigate?

Before I knew what these spiders were, I called them “zipper” spiders. Your photo shows only part of the zipper. It looks like she is bundling up some prey that disrupted her web. O once saw a hummingbird trapped in a zipper spider web.
I can get him evicted by Fish and Game. Don’t even need a lawyer.
He's harmless unless he feels trapped, humans are not a part of his regular menu.I can get him evicted by Fish and Game. Don’t even need a lawyer.
It's a slippery slope in terms of legal liability regarding wild animal attacks. Particularly if it can be proven a property owner had prior knowledge of the existence of such a creature on their property.
Also a local concern of much of anyone living in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe with all the bears that have no issue foraging for food amongst the local population.
Animal Attack Liability – Who Is Responsible?
Here that only counts for domesticated animals and usually only pops up from dog attacks, although someone's cows getting out on to a busy road can also result in prosecution.
For wild animals that you consider dangerous you can call parks and wildlife but it's completely illegal for you to interfere with the animal yourself, and if parks and wildlife don't believe the animal presents a real threat they'll plead with you to let it continue living where it is. That includes crocodiles up to 2 metres in length, any bigger than that and parks and wildlife will relocate it.
Here such issues fall under a multitude of local and state legal jurisdictions as to your options in getting rid of such an animal, particularly those considered dangerous. Though the most prudent thing is always to seek the authorities or a professional exterminator rather than attempt to handle it yourself.
Farm animals get complicated as well given they represent the potential for property damage liability if you harm or kill them. But then this America where litigation is used like a 12-gauge shotgun...so tread lightly.
Here, Fish and Game will trap and relocate nuisance gators more than 4 feet long. This guy is about 5 feet now.
Compared to your salties our gators are not aggressive, but they can hurt and kill humans. For example, most of the the time, at over 5 feet tall, gators are not interested in me, but should I kneel down at the edge of the pond to look at a frog or a flower, I suddenly become the right size for gator food.
I personally knew and saw newspaper coverage of an old woman who lived in the swamp and she drew her water from a canal. A gator got her arm and bit it off.
I take it, the entire photo is a tree and you focused on a certain twig blurring the background into a sort of special effect. Would that be correct?
