Pseudeuophrys lanigera, as you ponted out to me elsewhere whilst I was making a meal of it and getting it wrong. Nice shot.

Wow! Those are really beautiful! How do you get them to sit still?

The hard bit is getting them to sign the model release form.

That was good

The real answer is to stalk carefuly focus manually quickly and shoot quickly before they hop it.

This I would like to have an ID for. It was much further out of its web/nest when I first saw it and retreated as I approached it.

Great shots, but I'm hopeless on larvae so can't help with that last one.

Here are some shots I have just processed taken a few weeks back.



This is a the palest 4 spot orb weaver I have seen it was in Belgium.

This greenbottle hit the web a few seconds before this shot was taken I was lining up to shoot the dew on the web.

This was at an awkward angle so it was taken with live view and the screen tilted

And here is a wasp

Alf, your pale 4 spot spider isn't a 4 spot. It is a pale common garden spider, Araneus diadematus. Picture 3 is also a garden spider. The second one is a 4 spot, A. quadratus.

Great pictures of course, as they always are.

Thanks for the corrections Mike I have much to learn.

My first ever wild deer picture, taken on Saturday.

She knew I was there too, but really wasn't very bothered.
