I was trying to take pics for a macro challenge and spotted the funny yellow and white striped thing on a leaf. It was only when it started moving that I realised i was a spider. Even though my big phobia is spiders I stalked it for quite a while trying to get a decent shot but didn't manage even one that I was entirely happy with. I couldn't get the exposure right with those white stripes and the dark spider body. However, the worst thing about this was trying to identify what it was called as I had to scroll through loads of spider photos on Google - uggghhh!
