I noticed this morning that there was a spider dangling from a thread outside the window: a spider that I'm not used to seeing. I have plenty of spiders around here, mainly Wolf Spiders, but don't often see Nurseryweb Spiders which, I'm fairly certain, is what these are.

Hanging by a thread and missing two of his legs this 2 cm body-length chap (I think it's a male) seems interested in another one nearby. |

This one had a much smaller body and, being much lighter, I assume that it's an immature one. |

I'd love to know what they were up to. |
Now they are NOT cute! XX
ReplyDeleteNot cute, I agree, but spiders are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteWhatever they are doing I hope they carry on doing it outside the house!
