The Bigamist

I was having a wander around the garden this morning taking a look at just how many weeds had grown while we were in New Zealand and I spotted this lady St Andrew's Cross spider along with two suitors.

I wonder which one will win her heart or is she going to be a bigamist.

[Annie D]

she may eat them both :)

[Debbie]

I have these little buggers in my back yard too. No I know what they are called. Thankyou :)

[Valerie Chesney]

super capture, Babs, I have them too.

[Babs]

@annied That thought struck me too Annie.

[Denise Wood]

Great capture :)

[Christina Helliwell]

Wow...what a fabulous capture. Wonderful detail. But two suitors...what a hussy!

[Peter]

Superb colour and detail well spotted Babs:)

[sally agnew]

She is a rather beautiful spider :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great shot ,and what an unusual looking spider !

[Kane Arlow]

I think you can be sure that one or both will end up being a snack.

[Eve Pulsater]

Ooh! The flighty madam! Lovely shot though

[Sally Ings]

Amazing colours! She may want to snack on both of them, maybe one will be fast enough to get away. I doubt both will get away though!

[Merrelyn]

Great find and capture.

[KWind]

Super capture!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

So you shot me with a single spider yesterday and then triple it today. Keep going heart she does mean to frighten you - I think.

[Lee]

Appropriately named spider. Good shot.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh my goodness, what a great find and an excellent capture.

[M0ments in time]

I wonder which one will escape being eaten

[Barb Newcomb]

I love St Andrews Cross spiders. I think I agree with Annie. How long will they last?

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Linda]

Cool capture of the 3. Nice colors.

@annied @deborah63 @happysnaps @gilbertwood @chrysanthemum @chrysanthemum @pcoulson @hermann @beryl @karlow75 @creampuff @salza @merrelyn @kwind @ladymagpie @gamelee @mittens @mbmomentsintime @beachdog @bkbinthecity @pippie Thanks so much everyone. You will be pleased or maybe even surprised to know that both suitors are still here today. One is daring to get slightly closer but she hasn't eaten them yet. I think Christina may be right, Mrs Cross is just a hussy.

[Taffy]

Love your title -- and it really is interesting to see the three of them.

[Marnie]

Love the shot and your caption Babs. Perhaps an alternative could be 'dinner, today and tomorrow'?

[Margo]

Brilliant capture Babs

[Jane Morley]

Excellent shot but I can't look at it for long!

[Hazel]

Gosh the contenders look very small fry!!!!

[Yeshanghai]

Great capture! Love the beautiful colors and patterns.

[Ron]

Wow, really nice capture and detail Babs. I've never seen such a creature.

[Babs]

@taffy @golftragic @777margo @chimfa @quietpurplehaze @yeshanghai @stray_shooter Thanks. I checked her out today and she is there alone. I guess she had a great lunch.
