    Its spider month in the UK

    Everywhere I walk I bump into spider webs
    Thought this may be a Comb Legged Spider, but dont think so now,??

    Its spider month in the UK

    Looks a bit like Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall

    Thank you Kodiak and Grahame.

    I wonder if it is a Misumena Vatia (Means nothing to me though)

    Very nice John -- I like the expression on its face...very funny looking and the way it balances itself on whatever leaf where it rest -- reminds me of a ballerina. LOL

    I've never seen one before, so I can't help with I.D., but it is a very nice capture.

    Thanks Enrico, if I remember rightly it was about 1cm, maybe a little more.


    Thanks to all for your comments, appreciate them.
