Thank you 🙂 It is the time of year now I am seeing many of them around the garden. This one was by the door of my shed catching the flies. Who needs fly paper, lol 🙂

Oh Pete, it’s so hard to “like” spider photos, with my intense aversion to them, but I do appreciate your skill in taking the pictures.

Wow – one scary alien when you zoom in twice. I am not afraid of spiders, but I can understand while some people are.

As others have already said, so interesting. And the detail of the tiny mites (I suppose by definition all mites are tiny!) is amazing to see.
