A Spider :-)

Hiya All,

Well I'm back again, just about in the land of the living

I'm not sure what this Spider is ? at first I thought it to be a Golden Rod Crap Spider but no I don't think so. Any ideas would be most appreciated

Hope you've all had a good time shooting whilst I've been languishing indoors bereft of Critters

Cheers for now
Mark

Hi Mark
Welcome back, At least you can get out. It is blowing a gale or bucketing down so no shoots lately.
Great shots, it looks like an Orb Spider

Hi Mark hows things ?
Great series my fav is the second one
Pete

Cool shots, Mark! Can't help on the id, but love the head and rear shots

Hiya Lawrie, Pete, Adrian,

Many thanks for your kind words & comments,

Doing OK this way thanks till next time eh, feel a bit like an Oil Rig worker two weeks on two weeks off

I'm damned if I can find the ID of this one yet I've seen it somewhere

Cheers for now
Mark

Nice! I really need to get me a macro lens.

Nice work Mark. I have shot this spider in the past and haven't been able to get an ID for it. The red only appears in the larger spiders.
here my post Mark. https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=333087

Excellent series Mark- think it's a Theridiid spider.
Glad your up and about

Golden Rod Crap Spider

Well Mark I have to say I have cracked up at what you wrote and am amazed that no-one else has spotted it I am positive its not a "Crap" spider, but I am sure it did after it ate that fly LOL LOL

Glad you are up and about again.

Superb shots of the spider

Hiya Irwin, Gordon, Linda,

Many thanks for you're kind words & comments,

Irwin,
Pigeon Post a bit slow this side of the Pond a return is on it's way now

Gordon,
Thanks for that, I really must find a very good Spider book but they seen a bit thin on the ground

Linda,
Oopsy what could I have been thinking of eh, really !!
Strange as P is a long way from the B , now if I'd typed ' shot ' it would be understandable coz the O & the I are easily mixed up, ha well in my case they are.
love you're GSOH

Cheers for now
Mark

The eyes have it, shot three for me.
Hope you're back with us for good now, Mark.
