Face To Face.

Cutting back shrubs after 2 weeks away, this St Andrew’s Cross Spider & I came face to face. EEK! I think I am responsible for his broken web.

A broken web, but well captured.

Terrific capture, Valerie! Looks wonderful on black! It's always a shock to come face to face with a spider. :-)

[Kathy A]

Scary but photogenic.

[Diana]

Incredible capture!

[Joanna kate]

I'm quick to back off also, always a bit of a shock especially if you think the spider is on your head somewhere.. needless to say like these interesting webs they make

[Jane Morley]

Excellent, although I can never look at spiders for too long!

[Phil Sandford]

Fabulous capture

[sally agnew]

They are a lovely looking spider :)

[Helen Sanderson]

Her! The big spider is the female St Andrews Cross spider ... mating is a hazardous occupation for the very tiny male...

[Merrelyn]

It's a good looking spider :)

[Babs]

I love St Andrews Cross spiders and this lady is a beauty

This is fantastic! An one thing about spiders, they don't seem to be hindered in the least by a broken web!
