Saved by a Spider

Until late this afternoon, the best I had for today was a scungy old spider's web. Then IO came across this little huntsman on one of the broms and he saved the day. Not in @kporte Keith's league but beggars can't be choosers.
If you want a whole new appreciation of the world of insects, have a look at the French short animation cartoons Minuscule. You will never view them in the same way again. Try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N00rA1aFwJI for an episode on a spider LOL
Great close up and detail :)

Nice find Poppo though not a huge fan of spiders. My garden is a mine field after dark with the Garden Orbs weaving their webs across every thoroughfare. Only the brave venture out with no bright torch. I think a large spider crawling down my back would send me to an early grave :))

The video was funny! Great shot of this fellow. I'm more tolerant of them than I used to be. I would run a mile previously.

Owwza! That's no small spider. Good stars, you could practically put a leash on it and take it for a walk in the park. Perfect timing, your sharing a link to a Minuscule video. I was about to go in search of a link you shared a long time ago so I could show them to my family. (Couldn't remember the word "Minuscule".) Those things are great.

How can a spider save your day? Creepy critters are not on my list as saviours However, great shot!

Remarkable detail in your shot of this guy - it's amazing how my feelings about different insects have changed - especially if I think I can get a photo out of them! Did enjoy that video.

This is a great shot Terry! We have a few in our house at the moment, and they seem to do a dash just when I'm settled in front of the tv.

LOL...glad he saved the day and what a great shot you got of this spider. I sure wouldn't have wanted to be that close to him. You are brave.
