| Garden Cross Spider on Ox-eye daisy |
One of the nicest things about this time of year is seeing all the young creatures growing and changing into adults.
Whilst walking through the fields the other day we came across a patch of Ox-eye daisies that have been able to defy the drought. In the centre of one of the flowers we found this beautiful, tiny Garden Cross spider. These spiders grow up to 20mm long, so this one could still have some growing left.
In common with many spiders the the female is larger than the male, but I have no idea how you tell the difference between them without a proper examination.
I love the shadow that the spider creates, like something from a horror film.
