This is a great shot, Pete.
Fascinating behaviour. I wonder if this is a regular occurance or a complete fluke?

Many thanks, Ark. I think it was probably a fluke, yet the harvestman didn’t appear to mind at all.

If a fluke then the shot is all the more special. ‘Once offs’ are likely to be just that and one has a unique photo-record.
