Hiya All,

Strangely enough I found this tiny ' Goldenrod Crab Spider ' Misumena vatia on some Golden Rod Flowers, the flower it was on measured 3mm so that'll give an idea as to the size of the Spider, it took two hrs to capture these shots as the wind here has been a nightmare all day.

Cheers for now
Mark

Excellent shots Mark- love #2 & #3 - looks as if it might have been trying to do some paragliding in the wind. The pose in #2 & #4 looks like it was releasing silk into the wind- they can get enough lift from this to sail away.

Despite hating spiders they are great shots on such a fine and delicate subject.

Hiya Pete, Bill, Marlon, Bria, Linda, Alby, Bernie, Yacine, Chris, Eccles, Click-it,

Many thank for your kind words & comments most appreciated as always,.
Brian,

You're dear right on it Paragliding, it was doing this a lot of the time from one Flower Cluster to another then it would Abseil to the nearest Stem climb up & start all over again, a seemingly waste of energy as it was neither building a Web or catching anything

Bernie,
Just in case you didn't know these change their colour to match their background so don't sit there look just for a white one as chances are it'll be yellow & hidden well.
I read somewhere that it takes them upwards of three days to change colour so I'll be keeping an eye open & if I can find the it as it changes I'll try & get some shots as it does so, but don't hold your breath though.

Linda,
I got to admit that I had no idea that the thread was there until I got things uploaded to the Pc, Oh to have such eyesight eh
Right folks gota dash as Ami is feeling good today & is champing at the bit to go into Plymouth for some much needed retail therapy.

Cheers for now
Mark
