Sunshine’s Macro Monday #38
OK all my spiderphobes, this fearsome looking but colourful spider is about 12mm in size. Sure it has prey in the web almost twice its size but take the time to look at a wonderful most unusual tiny, yes tiny spider I found on my place during a bit of a wander about. It is a Jewel Spider and is a female. The males are 5mm!! Maybe there was one on the web and I didn’t see it.
Was that enough warning?
Look in wonder

Agreeing with Sheree.
Almost looks like an asteroid with those spiky protrusions.

That’s a beauty. It looks a bit like the crab spiders we have here, some of which can be quite colorful and have spiny projections.

There are crab spiders here too. I’ve not noticed spines so will have to have a good look next one I find

Thank you Su 🙂 I tried to get the top and front view but it kept moving away from me. It is an Orb Weaver family so the web was messy and big for it’s size
