It was quite windy so it it was very difficult to get a decent shot. This shows a full-grown spider and a much younger one. There were also other spiders on the same web - tiny, tiny white spiders which at first I thought were water droplets.


My first picture post.

    Great shot ! Thats not a younger spider but a male. A frightened one but a male none the less. You can see his 'boxing gloves' near his mouth quite clearly. That means male in the spider world.
