Apologies to anyone who hates creepy crawlies – especially the supremely unattractive ones – but I was just a-wandering this afternoon with my trusty lens, and this little critter caught my attention.
I’d never seen one before, but I think it may be a Nursery Web Spider, from what little help I’ve gained trying to look it up.
I find her quite cute, in a six-eyed, bristle-haired, scary kind of way.
Click on the photo to get a clearer version, if you can handle it :-)
I just thought it made a bit of a change from posting pictures of cutesy puppies and daffodils.
In fact, I’m tempted to start a Bug-a-Day Challenge for myself ….
Any comments will be welcomed :-)

This is amazing, but I can’t look too long because I have an awful fear of spiders.
At last, I found you!
I have a phobia of spiders, but this is one amazing shot!
Thanks. She’s not pretty, but she certainly has an interesting look about her.
