So you should be afroyeti - the subject matter was is a great one and a fine example of what is on everyone's doorstep, urban or rural. Well done. (What happened, did one spider provide the other's dinner?).

Nice pic

Looks like you might have the first stages of boy meets girl in the Garden Spider world. Could be their first dinner date...........

'Spect the one on the right is the female and the left the male, she will mate wih him then if he doesn't get away quickly she will eat him.

Nice. Is the little guy a passion or lunch?

Good picture of the delicate balance of life in nature- perhaps you could take wagers on whether he survives his amorous encounter? Perhaps if I were a male spider I might consider the virtues of celibacy? Fortunately I don't have 8 legs!

I totally agree mate its sooo much better seeing your subjects doing something although it takes a long time for them to do anything

got to say though my garden seems to be spider central at the moment is it spider season or something i have prob 1000 odd webs at the moment. Heres another photo btw of a spider who just got his/her dinner served i love how i focused on the silk spining but i do tend to have a problem that when i get close enough for the photo i want i tend to have difficulty focusing on the whole subject, i tend to just get one bit in this photo it worked for me but often it works against me any tips oh great and wise ones!!
