St Andrew's Cross spide'R'

This spider is tiny, its head and body section being about 4mm long. Its small size and its brown and cream colour indicate it's a male. The females are about three times bigger than the males and have brighter body decoration.

The spider holds its legs in pairs, giving it the cross shape. St Andrew is said to have been martyred on a cross of this shape, rather than the conventional one.

I had to immerse myself in the bushes to get this photo and it took a few goes. Now I feel like things are crawling on me. I look in the mirror and there's nothing there. The feeling persists.

Those eyes...
