Some recent macros - Spider and Ladybug

[::Lisa::]

Hi all,

I haven't been around for a while due to changing ISP's and had been stuck on dial up since March 8th. Glad to be back and back on broadband and some recent macros to share.

Caught this spider on one of my eBay mailing sacks. About half a CM long. Any ID would be greatful. I've been told it 'might' be a white crab spider on another forum but not a definate ID. I'm assuming it's female.

Here's a ladybird. Poor thing seemed to be injured and was very, very still.

Good shots Lisa- like the spider- as I said in the other thread, think this is a sac spider. Shame about the ladybird.

Hiya Lisa,

Excellent series of shots, I'm with Brian on the Spider ID t this is a Sac Spider & those Ladybirds are amongst the best I've seen.

Cheers for now
