Nice set of shots Hernando, I like wasp spiders but don't see them as often as I would like.

thanks for your comments .... It is very difficult to find a wasp spiders as they hide at grass level (near the ground).
Fraggle101, there is nature rserve at Gillespie road , next to the Arsenal station, not a big place but it is nice, I go there every other week.

Thanks

That's one evil looking wee beastie for sure! Great shots though. I feel for the poor creature he or she has under wraps to feast on later.
