Some spiders

Lord Vetinari

Couple of spiders from yesterday.
#1 is an immature orb web spider Araneus diadematus having breakfast - these spiders seem to leave food overnight for the morning start and it's then fairly well already digested by their venom. Rest of the shots are of what I think is a fence post jumping spider- first of these I've seen this year- about 5mm body length (fairly large for these). Of course it was on my car not a fence post

Hi Brian, the Orb has a lovely pattern on it's back.
and my favourite little begging Spider ... the Jumping Spider.
I've seen a couple of little Jumping Spiders on the deck, but they are way too fast for me.

Nice series Brian .... Skippy

Great shots Brian (as always) .... You should post some of your duds, just to make some of us feel better!

I like the eyes on the little jumper, like Skippy said, these guys are really quick! Hard to get a good image (for me)

Those shots have so much detail it really is a pleasure to look at them and also the knowledge you have about them makes it so interesting. Well done and thanks.
