If you weren't looking for these guys you would never see them, they are only 4-5mm long
It's fun looking for them, you get weird looks from other beach goers :) :)

I agree with everything already posted. I wasn't expecting this variety when I first clicked on the thread.

Very nice done...interesting... engaging.

No, not at all... that's one of the reasons I clicked on it. I was wondering... ok.... beach... macro...not sure what I'll see.

I wonder if it is because there are not spiders in the UK on the beach - I am sure someone would have seen them and I am a member of the British Arachnological society.

The peacock spiders are only found in Australia and we are finding new species all the time

Yes true, I just wonder why we don't find any spiders on the beach in the UK (or very rarely) maybe it is the temperature or something else. Australia seems a wonderful country for wildlife -
