A very small, 5mm perhaps, Crab Spider I found while shooting yesterday. This was taken on the inside of my coat - when I put it on something more 'natural' it would hide, making it impossible to photograph haha. :)

Thank you roentarre, lance v, spidermanrbryce2006 and misskitty5077 for your lovely comments - much appreciated.

And yep, the focus was slightly off - always hard to judge with such small things haha. :)

Wells?

Haha, well, im in Sevenoaks, Kent (SE England). I usually go out, and choose a specific patch of grass, and sit there for a while, looking for any movement. Always find little Flies, Leafhoppers and Springtails; the Spider was a bonus, as they are usually found at the base of the grass.
