Garden Cross Spider.

[JohnC6]

I photographed this yesterday. I read it was also called the Cross Orb-Weaver. Taken with the Canon 100mm Macro lens on a 5D11. It was behind our garden shed with one end of the web attached to the shed so no room to get behind it but this underside view shows the prey which it has in its mouth.

Thanks,Les. I realised a while after I'd posted it 'what a mess the web is'..Why couldn't it have woven a neat ,tidy one or repaired it. ?..

Cheers,Les.. Spiders make a change.I wish I lived by a good river like you do, though. I have to wait for whatever comes into the garden.

Thanks, Alby. I didn't realise it was 'spider time'. I thought spider time was all year round. Live and learn, as they say.

You are more than welcome to come down to my neck of the woods John- I do know a few places

Well house spiders tend to move a bit more at this time of year which upsets archnaphobes - they are harmless.
