When I went to the greenhouse to check on the tomato plants I spotted a new thread about four feet long. A quick examination brought to view one of the smallest spiders I have seen spinning its web. A quick dash to grab the macro camera set up and found both batteries flat. Fortunately I had a couple of spares ready charged so I was soon back in the greenhouse trying to grab a hand held macro shot:
It was a problem to find it in the viewfinder, never mind trying to focus on it but I did manage one more reasonable shot as it was more interested in weaving its web than posing for a photo shoot:
Legs spread it can't have been more than 5mm across.
If it hadn't been moving I doubt I would have noticed it.
Excellent work!
ReplyDeleteGood one. I'm not sure what it is but think it may be a Common Orb Weaver.
