Itsy Bitsy Spider

I love spiny orb-weaver spiders.  They’re just so much more interesting than most of the other spiders round here.  I spotted this one because its web was about 8’ x 6’.  He himself was only about 1 cm (0.4”) so he’d been really busy.  Sadly, he’ll have to start all over again when the lawn is cut tomorrow.

(Sorry about the mixed measurement systems – that’s the trouble with being a Brit in America!)
