Superb sequence and apt description... Oh, oh... do i see the CSI (Catch Spider In-action) squad coming in?
Not disturbing just nature!
Is this spider as big as the one in your previous post? I can't believe it's body is 1.5 inches... that's a big spider.
The web of death ! :P
Wah looks like all the spiders were well fed. One of em even got a hoverfly.
that is an excellent series of pictures. I love nature... do you remember last summer when I posted pics of a female spider eating the male spider just after they mated? That was so intriguing to me...
