Spider and it's prey

You have been warned ;-)

Aries...

now as you probably know, I hate spiders, but your piccies of this one were
a delight to look at - what an interesting looking spider, not seen one
like that before. Didn't see any kind of web tho ??

Graham...

The don't use a web to catch their dinner. they wait until an insect
comes within range and grab it with their long forelegs... just like
a crab ;-)

Aries...

Really - Wow, I live and learn :)

Superb clarity.

Graham...

Thanks, FN.

My head wasn't too clear after sitting in the sun for a couple of
hours waiting for the right hoverfly to come along ;-)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

Bet you got a good tan though. :)

Graham...

Not through factor 50 ;-)

Apparently if you rub it in, like most do, it loses a lot of it's
effectiveness. You're supposed to just slap (or should that be, slop) it
on.

Graham...

It's the Australian way... slop it on good and thick :-)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

Yep! Richie Benaud calls it Slip, Slap, Slop

Jackie...

Wow! very clever filming Graham. I haven't seen a white spider before. Great
pictures.

Graham...

Thank you, Jackie. They are pretty common in southern England, this
one is a resident of Cambridgeshire ;-)
